The palate is a well-balanced dance of pear, citrus, and the unmistakable minerality that defines Lismore’s wines. A touch of toffee and exotic spice adds a sophisticated twist, giving this wine an intriguing complexity that lingers with a satisfying finish.
This 2021 vintage is a true reflection of the terroir of the Western Cape and the pioneering spirit of Samantha O'Keefe. A rare and exceptional wine that is perfect for those looking for something beyond the ordinary, the Lismore Estate Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc is sure to impress even the most discerning wine enthusiasts.

Winery | 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 metres, which are chilled by winter snow and nourished by the African summer sun, produces classic, cool-climate wines that are rich, complex, and lovingly hand-crafted. 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, with 15% also coming from the upper Hemel-enAarde valley in Hermanus, whose grapes bore close resemblance to those lost on her vineyard. |
