The Liberator, Bishop of Norwich Cape Vintage, Stellenbosch 2018

Fortified Touriga Nacional and Tinta Barocca from Calitzdorp in Stellenbosch, this is a stunning alternative to Port. Richly fruited, with concentrated aromatics of dried fruits and fine spice. Named after Henry Bathurst, the bishop of Norwich in the early 19th century with a notorious capacity for wine consumption and a reputation for neglecting to pass the port at dinner parties. Just try not to follow his lead!
