My Wine of The Month of October is Laibach 2018.
The previous vintage was my wine of the month in July 2022 and at that time I noted that the owners
had sold the winery in April 2022 and retired to Germany. Near neighbours Kanonkop Estate are the new owners and they immediately renamed the place Ladybird Vineyards
I thought that 2017 vintage would be the last Laibach I would have and I was a little disappointed with it. But I found this bottle in an independent wine shop a long way from my home and it's a cracker with deep juicy plummy flavours and underlying soft tannins.
With the sale in 2022 I may yet find more Laibachs. I look forward to them.
