Lismore Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Western Cape
R250
‘Grapes from Stanford, Greyton and Elgin. 70% fermented in large oak and 30% in concrete eggs. Complex aromatics with notes of black currant, peach, citrus, sea breeze, fennel and white pepper plus some leesy character. The palate has great fruit definition to go with a lovely line of acidity that runs through it. Direct and forceful in the best way.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
‘Three different areas - Elgin, Greyton and Stanford - supply the grapes for this egg and older barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc that is deliberately made in what Samantha O'Keefe terms an "oxidative style". Leesy and waxy, with nettle and pink grapefruit notes, undertones of rose petal and sourdough bread and plenty of extract and tannic structure. 2022-27’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 94/100

| Producer information | Lismore Estate Vineyards situated in Greyton, Overberg, was created in 2000 by Californian born Samantha O'Keefe. The location of the estate provides a combination of cool winter weather and hot African summers which produce Lismore's 'rich, complex and lovingly hand-crafted' wines. Lismore wines caught their big break in 2012 when the Lismore Chardonnay and Viognier were each given a 92 points score by Neal Marin (from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate) which led to international success. |
