Winery	The grapes come from the Greyton ward in the Western Cape, which SAWIS has designated in recognition of the special terroir of this region. The vineyards are planted on steep slopes in decomposed shale over clay at 300 metres above sea level in the foothills of the Sonderend Mountain Range. Here, the climate plays an important role: the low mean February temperature lends to an extended ripening period that results in a harvest that takes place three to four weeks later than in traditional wine-growing regions in South Africa. The Cuvée Blanc is a blend of 90% Roussanne, 5% Viognier, and 5% Chardonnay; the Roussanne vines were grafted onto the trunks following the estate fire, which destroyed vines in 2019. The roots are from 2016 and are planted on the farm's coolest slope, making it the last variety to be picked. The intense citrus notes and the lingering finish are consistent hallmarks of Lismore's specific terroir.
