Samantha O'Keefe - Lismore Estate Vineyards

The Sheltering Sky Vertical Collection: 6 x 750ml bottles comprising two bottles each of the 2020, 2022 & 2023 vintages

This rare vertical collection of The Sheltering Sky Syrah offers a compelling insight into Samantha O'Keefe's acclaimed cool-climate Elgin terroir across three outstanding vintages.

Included are two bottles each of the 2020, 2022 and 2023 releases, all crafted exclusively for the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction. Grown on distinctive iron-rich soils, these Syrahs balance elegance, freshness and aromatic lift with remarkable depth and structure. Whole-cluster fermentation and sensitive oak maturation preserve the purity and individuality of each vintage, revealing layered notes of cassis, blackberry, spice, violets and fynbos.

Together, these wines beautifully demonstrate the evolution, nuance and site-specific character of Syrah from one of South Africa's most distinctive cool-climate regions.
