About the winemaker
Lismore Estate Vineyards can be found hidden in a mountain range in South Africa. The Californian Samantha O'Keefe found her paradise here and the perfect terroir to make her dream come true. Her passion combined with the unique terroir produces some beautiful "cool climate" wines. In the cellar, Samantha believes in minimal intervention and in the vineyards she finds a striking resemblance to the vineyards of the northern Rhône. Thanks to her pioneering work, the Greyton region has acquired its own Wine of Origin.
