WINING AND DINING WITH LIBER PATER
As events begin to reinstate in a safe and socially distanced fashion, Eventica and The Luxury Network UAE partnered together for the Liber Pater wine tasting event held at the prestigious Bvlgari Hotel & Resorts in Dubai.
Held in the private gardens of the sprawling property, the invite-only event saw 40 socially-distant guests savor a chic three-course meal paired with Liber Pater wines – the world’s most expensive brand of wines.
Liber Pater, a small boutique winery in the Graves appellation of Bordeaux, which began production only in 2006, has earned a cult status in a very short time, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after wines of today.
The main man behind the brand, Loic Pasquet does things differently, and for this reason, his stunning wines taste like no other wine you may have tried before. That may be because he spent 10 years bringing his vineyard back to it’s origins and uses ungrafted vines and grape varieties no longer found in wines today. In essence his wines
are how the original Bordeaux’s were produced and tasted prior to 1855. In his words, “How can you put a price on tasting a dinosaur?” Priceless indeed, with the echoing of gasps around the tables and exclamations from guests that they had never tasted wines with such unique characteristics and flavors - perfectly paired with the gourmet dishes served in tandem.
Guests at the exclusive soiree were treated to a selection of these four distinguished and extremely rare wines - with only a thousand bottles produced a year for each line. The Seaf (2018) is aged over 24 months in Amphora and with Petite Vidure, Tarnay, Castets and saint Macaire grape varieties. The Storm (2010) known as ‘the last supper’ by Da Vinci is also a mark of Loic and his wife, Alona’s wedding year. This great vintage of 2010 gave outstanding grapes to produce both red and white Liber Pater. Sauvetage (2015) is a manual harvest done in several

stages according to variety and microclimate. The clusters are all destemmed and lightly crushed upon arrival to the cellar. After fermentation is done at a low temperature, it is then gently pressed using an old style basket press and then the wine is aged at a minimum of two years. It is made up of 80% amphorae and 20% new oak barriques. The Dream of Liber Pater (2011) – the name is given because the region had finished harvesting by late September due to difficult weather conditions that year. The harvest at Liber Pater started only on in early October and stretched over 15 days in optimal weather conditions. This not only saved the vintage, but also made it outstanding in quality, hence: ‘The Dream’. The 2011 gave beautiful grapes for both red and sweet Liber Pater.
With a gorgeously lit and adorned setting on the Dubai shoreline, guests dressed to the nines were treated to a fabulous array of food and one-of-a-kind Liber Pater wines. The evening well and truly set the bar to a unique standard and experience for the launch of the event season again.
