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.

Details
| Vineyard | This wine is grown on Rose-Quartz soils in Elgin, a cool, high altitude plateau. The region offers a lengthened ripening period which brings the grapes late into season- often 3-4 weeks later than traditional wine growing areas in South Africa. This provides the opportunity to develop deep complexity and concentration. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and whole bunch pressed, cold settled for 24 hours and then racked into 500 and 600 liter Burgundy barrels for fermentation and 11 months of aging. 100% spontaneous (natural) yeasts were allowed for fermentation. 5% new French oak |
