Lismore “The Age Of Grace” Viognier 2021

R289.00

Region: Western Cape

Tasting note:

“This expressive viognier, grown on rose-quartz soil, seduces you with the beautiful perfume of honeysuckle and orange blossom and a textured palate
of apricot, kiwi and pineapple. A sensual and exotic experience. Barrel fermented and aged. Enjoy it now or allow it to gain complexity with further cellaring.” – Winemaker

“Grapes from Bot River and Elgin. 85% fermented in multi-format barrels and 15% in concrete eggs. Peach, a light nut-like note and some waxy character on the nose. The palate is well balanced and nicely detailed – dense fruit, well integrated acidity and a gently savoury finish. Nothing too heady, unctuous, or ingratiating about it.” – CE

Owned by Californian winemaker, Samantha O’Keefe, Lismore is the pioneer of Wine of Origin ‘Greyton’, which has been designated by SAWIS (South African Wine Industry Information & Systems), recognizing the unique terroir of this region. Unfortunately the Lismore estate was razed by wildfire on 16 December 2019.Luckily though, the main wine stock was held in Stellenbosch, so Samantha had something to keep her business afloat, though there would be no Lismore 2019 estate wines on the market. She made 2020 wine from grapes from different vineyards, as well as her own estate.

This wine is grown on Rose-Quartz soils in Elgin, a cool, high altitude plateau. The region offers a lengthened ripening period which brings the grapes late into season, often three to four weeks later than traditional wine growing areas in South Africa. This provides the opportunity to develop deep complexity and concentration.
