Lismore Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Greyton
R650
'Made from own vineyards that survived the fire and what a triumph it is. Matured for 11 months in 500-litre barrels, 40% new. The nose shows white peach, citrus and some struck-match reduction while the palate shows extraordinary concentration and well-integrated acidity before a super-long finish. It’s wonderfully well realized, possessing plenty of depth without sacrificing focus.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 97/100
'The 2020 Chardonnay Reserve Estate is the only Reserve wine whose fruit survived the wildfire in 2018. It has a glorious bouquet that is Premier Cru Burgundy in quality, featuring wonderful, brilliantly delineated scents of citrus lemon and orange blossom and hints of black currant leaf. The palate is extremely well balanced, displaying wonderful poise allied with impressive concentration. There’s real depth and substance on the finish (where others have lacked in this vintage). An outstanding, world-class Chardonnay.' – Neal Martin, Vinous, 95/100
'The Reserve Chardonnay blocks survived the fire in December 2019, thank goodness, so this was all made with Greyton grapes. Textured, structured and perfumed, with citrus and stone fruit flavours, creamy lees, a hint of toast, shimmering acidity and a mineral core. 2022-28.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 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. |
