Product: 2023 The Liberator, Episode 45 Telegram Sam Red Blend
Graduating from the University of Stellenbosch pre-covid, Sam Lambson used his savings, made from a bunch of early entrepreneurial business ventures, to source some exceptional Syrah grapes and, in return for him lending a hand elsewhere during harvest time, fellow winemakers had helped him out by sharing access to their fruit sources and by donating some old barrels. His first release of Stars in the Dark, sourced from a vineyard on the rugged coast close to Cape Agulhas, created a notable stir in the market some 12 months later.
However, the growing conditions for the 2023 growing season were a little less kind in the maritime vineyards of the Cape. Elim grapes were indeed harvested, but some parcels were not of the quality expected to be included in the final blend.
This wine is a fusion of Lambson Rhone Varietials, plus some equally redundant parcels sourced from both De Morgenzon and Miles Mossop..
DMZ Mourvèdre helped to fill out the rather hollow mid-palate of the Syrah, whilst the Cinsault from Miles added a sweet fragrance. The addition of a couple of ‘buckets full’ of Viognier did the same but also gave an unexpected texture to the final blend.
