About this Item
“My philosophy in the cellar is to produce wines that are a unique expression of this unique place. I have spent 20 years of my life developing this farm, and I do not want to get in the wine’s way.” - Samantha O'Keefe
100% Chardonnay
Wine of Origin: Greyton
Winemaker: Samantha O'Keefe
Samantha O'Keefe is the pioneer of Wine of Origin Greyton. This Chardonnay exemplifies the unique, extreme cool-climate terroir. This Chardonnay is a barrel selection of the coolest block on Lismore, chosen to express the elegance and definition of these steep, dry land farmed, mountain vineyards. The grapes were whole bunch pressed, settled overnight, and then fermented with natural yeast. Subsequently, they were aged on the lees for 11 months in 500-litre French oak barrels, with 25% of the barrels being new. Stirring during this aging process was not carried out.
Tasting Notes: Concentrated aromas of dried lemon, orange blossom, and toasted pine nuts. The palate is well-balanced, with intense citrus and grilled lime with a citrus, saline, mineral driven finish.
Ready for drinking in 5 to 10 years.
