Description
The Liberator Francophile Syrah is a partial whole bunch ferment which gives a wine that is full of vibrant red-black fruit, with an aromatic nose reminiscent of Saint-Joseph lillie. The result is a thrilling young red that is free of the constraints and manipulated flavour profile that come with barrel-ageing. This is a very pure and naked example of the Syrah grape. Dangerously drinkable on release, it could be expected to age for three to five years in bottle.
The Liberator wines are the brainchild of English Master of Wine Richard Kelley (the self styled ‘Liberator’), who has a multitude of amazing contacts in the South African wine industry. On his travels Rik noticed that many of the wineries he visited had small parcels or barrels of wine that they weren’t quite sure what to do with, either because they didn’t fit the wineries flavour profiles or they were little side projects that the winemaker had embarked on and didn’t know where to place the wines. Rik took it upon himself to ‘Liberate’ the wines and produce a series of limited Episodes to ship to the UK. The prjoect has been such a success that they now produce a non-limited edition Syrah made at De Morgezon winery.

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire
Gamay
This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality. A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.
