The Syrah is made from 50% Greyton fruit planted in heavy schist (decomposed shale) soils with no irrigation and 50% Elgin fruit grown in sandstone and shales soils. These are two of the coolest climates in South Africa, with extreme diurnal temperature shifts that promote complexity, depth, and concentration and present a Syrah with a very distinct sense of place.

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.
