About this Item

Chardonnay 2018
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Lismore is the Greyton estate of Californian-born Samantha O'Keefe, celebrated for cool-climate, elegant whites and Syrah from the high Overberg. This is her Cape South Coast Chardonnay. 2018 was a very dry, drought-affected Cape vintage giving small, concentrated crops. Tim Atkin MW scored it 92 in his South Africa Special Report 2020.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

"Bottled as a Cape South Coast wine because it includes components from Elandskloof, Lismore and Stanford, this is all about bright fruit rather than oak, with subtle pear and citrus flavours, racy zip and acidity and a hint of vanilla spice." - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 92/100 (Sep 2020)
