Lismore Estate Vineyards, nestled in the foothills of the dramatic mountain range in South Africa, is where Californian-born owner and winemaker Samantha O'Keefe has discovered both paradise and the ideal terroir. With vines planted at 300 meters and a distinctive cool-climate environment shaped by extreme temperature shifts, Lismore crafts rich, complex, and meticulously handcrafted wines that embody a true sense of place. As the pioneer of the "Greyton" Wine of Origin designation, Lismore is celebrated for its exceptional terroir and the unique story told in every bottle.

Barrel fermentation and extended lees contact contribute to this full bodied, elegant and well balanced wine.  Floral notes of passion flower and fynbos, granadilla, guava, gooseberry and green fig on the palate along with an underlying minerality which gives this unique terroir driven wine its signature.

This wine is an extraordinary accompaniment to fine cuisine - pair it with dishes such as Scallops with a Salsa Verde or Asian-fusion dishes.

94 Points - Christian Eedes

Grapes from Stanford, Greyton and Elgin. 70% fermented in large oak and 30% in concrete eggs. Complex aromatics with notes of black currant, peach, citrus, sea breeze, fennel and white pepper plus some leesy character. The palate has great fruit definition to go with a lovely line of acidity that runs through it. Direct and forceful in the best way.
