About this Item

Chardonnay, 2011
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Tucked into the foothills of the dramatic Riviersonderend mountain range just outside the town of Greyton is Lismore Estate Vineyards. Californian Samantha O'Keefe has found paradise and the perfect terroir in this valley, and single-handedly successfully pioneered a new ward classification for her wines in Greyton. Her passion and hard work combined with a philosophy of purity and site expression has established Lismore among one of the new jewels in the Cape Winelands.

Lismore was struck a severe blow in December last year when a runaway veld fire destroyed Sam's family home, the wine cellar (and most of the wine stock) as well as a large portion of the vineyards.

All the proceeds of the Lismore lots on sale will go to the producer, in aid of rebuilding efforts - no buyers or sellers commission charged.

Critics Ratings

'Like all of the Lismore wines, this relies on terroir and understatement rather than loud, clamorous flavours for its effect. Taut, focused and elegant, with lees adding richness and older oak a touch of wood smoke. Further proof that this is an exceptional site.' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2014, 92/100
