  2021 Chenin Blanc, Lismore

  £3300

  Lismore Estate is based in Greyton within the Overberg region of the Western Cape of South Africa.  It’s here with the Sonderend mountains as a backdrop that winemaker & proprietor Samantha O’Keefe makes her fabulous wines.  O’Keefe’s vision was to create wines that reflect the unique terroir of this cool-climate region. Despite facing significant challenges, including a devastating fire in 2019, she has continued to produce wines of exceptional quality and character. Her commitment to expressing the purity and elegance of the region’s fruit is evident in every bottle.

  In the glass, the nose is delicately aromatic, offering notes of orange blossom and jasmine, complemented by hints of mandarin and passion fruit. On the palate, it is taut and linear, with a crystalline acidity that provides structure and vitality. Subtle nuances of citrus and stone fruit are interwoven with a fine mineral backbone, leading to a racy and persistent finish. The wine’s balance and finesse make it immediately appealing and suitable for cellaring over the next 3–5 years.

  2022 Estate Reserve Cuvée Blanc, Lismore Estate Vineyards

  £4995

  Lismore Estate is based in Greyton within the Overberg region of the Western Cape of South Africa.  It’s here with the Sonderend mountains as a backdrop that winemaker & proprietor Samantha O’Keefe makes her fabulous wines.

  This incredible blend of Roussanne, Chardonnay and Viognier has fragrant aromas of yellow plum, spice and orange blossom that lead to a beautifully balanced palate, with crisp acidity, saline mineral notes and a lemongrass embroidered finish.

  The grapes come from the Greyton ward in the Western Cape, which has been designated by SAWIS in recognition of the special terroir of this region. The vineyards are planted on steep slopes in decomposed shale over clay at 300 metres above sea level, in the foothills of the Sonderend Mountain Range. Here the climate plays an important role: the low mean February temperature lends to an extended ripening period that results in a harvest that takes place three to four weeks later than traditional wine growing regions in South Africa. The Cuvée Blanc is a blend of 90% Roussanne, 5% Viognier, 5% Chardonnay; the Roussanne vines were grafted onto the trunks following the estate fire which destroyed vines in 2019. The roots are from 2016 and are planted on the coolest slope on the farm, which makes it the last variety to be picked. The intense citrus notes and the lingering finish are consistent hallmarks of Lismore’s specific terroir.
