What others say:
“… one of the VERY few Viogniers from outside the Rhone that we’ve found to evoke memories of
Condrieu!” – SWIG (UK)
“… her 2008 Viognier is the finest SA example I’ve tasted.” – Neil Pendock, Sunday Times
“I had a wine epiphany sitting on Lismore’s verandah taking in the mountainous landscape. Looking out
over the newly planted vineyards, I was washed over by the immense amount of labour and passion that
it takes to truly benefit from the proper choice of the best vines to thrive in a specific soil, on a completely
individual site. The force of one’s will to grow something special on a completely indifferent mountain.” –
Brad Hickey’s Wine Odyssey
“… 2009 Sauvignon Blanc, with a portion of barrel fermented fruit and extended lees contact, is one of
the most profound Sauvignons you’ll taste.” – SWIG (UK)
“Lismore makes finely etched Viognier that could be a new benchmark for SA, ...” – Brad Hickey’s Wine
Odyssey
“… extreem is het enig juiste woord hier. De boerderij ligt zeer afgelegen en de wijngaarden liggen hoog
op de omliggende heuvels, waar sneeuw niet ongebruikelijk is. Hier produceert Samantha een kleine
hoeveelheid wijn met kracht en een zuurgraad die de wijnen zeer verfijnd maken.” – 2vin
“My favourite white was the 2009 Lismore Viognier with its dried apricot flavour and the most amazing
lingering citrus aftertaste.” – City Of Sunshine And Storms
“South Africa’s finest expression of Viognier to date, Condrieu like, touch oxidative, perfume, textured
mouth feels with racy and vibrant profile, high energy, only 3000 bottles made, seek it out.” – Miguel
Chan Wine Journal
“... the cult white of 2007” – Sunday Times
“The 2011 Viognier is made in a more linear style - hints of frangipane, apricot and honeysuckle on the
nose, all very well-defined. The palate is ripe and spicy on the entry with touches of dried orange peel,
shaved ginger and a touch of dried lychee. There is splendid weight in the mouth and a long, satisfying
finish. Excellent. Drink now-2018.” - WINE ADVOCATE, October 2013
Viognier:
There’s no end to this wine. Poised but generous, built up from layers of fresh, dried and blossoming
citrus and stone fruit - with hints of dry apple, honey, well-seasoned oak and more flowers, all held
upright with perfect acidity.
Chardonnay:
Tangy and perfumed, with intense and beautifully structured citrus and white fruit around a marked
mineral core. Vanilla, honey and nuts on the nose, deftly braced by the by now signature Lismore
acidity.
