About this Item

Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc, 2015
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.

Winemakers personal tasting note:

'I love barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is approached and made in an “oxidative" style. Older 300 litre barrels were used for fermentation bringing forward richness and additional complexity. The wine was given extended less contact to contribute further to the rounder mouth feel and creaminess of this elegantly textured wine. As with all Lismore wines, balance is the key. The bracing acidity that is customary in new world Sauvignons has been brought into balance with a carefully chosen pick date and the barrel fermentation. A full bodied, balanced wine was the goal. This wine is an extraordinary accompaniment to fine cuisine with Cape Town's top chefs choosing to pair it with dishes such as Scallops with a Salsa Verde and Asian-fusion dishes.' - Sam O'Keefe
