| Winery | Samantha O’Keefe performed miracles to produce this wine: because a fire destroyed part of her vineyards and all of her finished wine in late 2019, she had to select wines from different vineyards in Stellenbosch. 15% also came from the upper Hemel-enAarde valley in Hermanus, whose grapes bore a close resemblance to those lost in her vineyard. Californian Samantha O'Keefe has found paradise and the perfect terroir. Tucked into the foothills of a dramatic mountain range at the bottom of Africa, Lismore Estate Vineyards was born alongside her nascent family. A passionate vision, combined with vines planted at 300 meters, chilled by winter snow and nourished by the African summer sun, produces rich, complex, and lovingly hand-crafted classic, cool climate wines. |
