Lieben Wines

A unique expression of terroir specific wines from the Walker Bay and Franschhoek wine regions. Our wines are produced with old style methods of minimal interference and a soft hand.
Like the ancient art of origami, winemaking is a meticulous yet creative process of hand crafting. Over the years, origami has evolved into a true art that reaches its heights of intricacy and beauty when the paper is folded in the hands of an expert. Origami swans traditionally accompanied gifts at celebrations as swans mate for life.

CHENIN BLANC
2018

Our Chenin Blanc unfolds fresh floral aromas with hints of honey, lemon peel and spice. Layers of ripe pear and quince are balanced with subtle oak and an integrated natural acidity on the finish. Lieben Chenin Blanc is made from a single block, certified heritage bush vines planted in 1982 from the Old Vines Project.

CHARDONNAY
2018

Our Chardonnay unfolds a bouquet of fragrant wild flowers, litchi and almond. Between citrus layers of lime and grapefruit an elegant minerality fills the palate and leaves a lingering honeycomb finish laced with the subtle fragrance of new oak.

QUINTA DO SUL - Cape Vintage
2020

Read about our port on The Wine Goggle

Quinta do Sul - Cape Vintage is a vintage style port made in the traditional Portuguese manner in open fermenters and allowed a longer resting period on the skins resulting in intense flavours of cassis, ripe plums, cigar box, chocolate and roasted coffee. Ready to enjoy now as a young port or to cellar for many years. Alwyn's passion for port took him all the way to Portugal to learn the secrets of the Douro Valley at Quinta de Pacheca and The Symington Family Vineyards for 4 seasons. Quinta do Sul, award winning port, was produced in 2008, 2009 and 2020.

The red varieties are punched down by hand 5 times a day. After fermentation, wine is left on the skins for 2-3 weeks, then placed in barrels for second fermentation. Our wines are aged in French oak barrels and the red wines are racked 3 times a year. Lieben wines are unfiltered and unfined and each bottle is hand waxed for an authentic experience.

PINOT NOIR
2019

Our Pinot Noir has a lovely translucent, red plum colour. On the nose aromas of sweet red fruit and subtle floral notes unfold. The silky-smooth taste of ripe strawberries and raspberries enfolded in supple tannins with a hint of oak in the background fills the palate. A long lingering earthy aftertaste of roasted spices laced with strawberry.

ORIGAMI PINOT NOIR 2017

Origami - Pinot Noir 2017 unfolds ripe plums, red and black berries, floral notes, subtle spice with a hint of cloves. Soft and balanced, perfectly aged in French oak barrels. From the Hemel and Aarde wine region in Walker Bay.
