About this Item
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.
Notes

Critics Ratings
'This is the first commercial release of a red wine from an estate that has made its name with its whites, but it’s every bit as good as the rest of the range. A splash of Viognier nods towards Côte Rôtie on the tangy, elegant, yet well-structured palate, with clove and red cherry flavours to the fore.' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2014, 92/100.
