Product Notes

Lismore Estate Reserve Chardonnay is a sophisticated white wine from South Africa that balances traditional chardonnay character with a modern approach. Fragrant with notes of orchard fruit, flint, vanilla and brioche, it exhibits a refined palate featuring elegant minerality, brisk acidity, and complex layers of apple, citrus, and toasted nut flavours. The lingered finish is reminiscent of honey and white flowers. A perfect companion to any seafood dish or white meat, the Lismore Estate Reserve Chardonnay is an illustration of the excellence of wines from the Western Cape region.

Tasting Notes

A stunning example of a restrained, cool climate Chardonnay. Intense citrus aromas and classic soft fruits, jasmine and walnut are layered with honey and vanilla notes. The palate is beautifully balanced with a refreshing, crisp acidity and a distinct minerality. Concentrated and refined, with a crisp, clean citrus finish.
