- Dense and smoky black olives, beautifully concentrated with lovely finesse and elegance. The epitome of fine Syrah is an exotic experience that shifts your mind to another place. Cassis, blackberry, and cherry on the nose with hints of white pepper, ground herbs, and the strong floral perfume of crushed violets. Light and elegant but structured with a fresh acidity.
The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness. 40% were fermented in whole bunches in large 5,000-litre vats with gentle pump-overs twice daily. The process allowed for a long extraction period, which lent to the fruit's expression and structure in this wine. The free-run wine was drained off, and the fermented grapes were then pressed in a traditional wooden basket press. The wine was racked into 225, 300 and 500-litre barrels where malolactic conversion took place, and the wine was aged for 12 months. 15% new French oak was used.
This is an exotic experience that will shift your mind to another place. The nose has cassis, blackberry, and cherry, with hints of white pepper, ground herbs, and the strong floral perfume of crushed violets. It is light and elegant but structured with a fresh acidity.

| Winery | 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. |
