Tucked into the foothills of a dramatic mountain range at the bottom of Africa is Lismore Estate Vineyards. Californian Samantha O'Keefe has found paradise and the perfect terroir. Her passion combined with vines planted at 300 meters chilled by the winter snow and nourished by the African summer sun produce classic cool climate wines which are rich complex and lovingly hand crafted.

The wine in both the tank and the barrels was kept on its solids (lees) throughout the aging period, contributing to the beautiful texture and body. The final wine is 30% barrel fermented.

In both batches, the grapes were hand picked and whole bunch pressed. The juice was settled overnight and naturally fermented using only native yeasts.
