A low mean February temperature lends to an extended ripening period that can put harvest 3-4 weeks later than traditional wine growing regions in South Africa. The intense citrus notes and the lingering finish are consistent trademarks of Lismore's specific terroir. The restrained minerality of the Chardonnay is a clear indication of the cool climate in which it is grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWine of Origin \"Greyton\" has been designated by SAWIS recognizing the special terrior of this region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDelightful with warm curries which lift the aromatics or a traditional pairing of smoked salmon highlighting the fresh acidity.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The 2020 Chardonnay offers plenty of mango, pineapple and citrus fruit on the nose, all beautifully defined with a subtle minerally undertow. The well-balanced palate delivers orange pith and tangerine flavors, fine depth and a fresh pear and nectarine finish. Not the most complex Chardonnay that Samantha O'Keefe has ever produced, but still absolutely delicious. - Neal Martin\"\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n\t  \u003cspan\u003e- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (November 2021), 90 pts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lismore Estate Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949119139887,"sku":"SA1EE367032CHS","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/lismore_chardonnay_hq_label_a9579b3a-64cd-4c8f-a10d-9549f6ba57b1.jpg?v=1771489423","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/lismore-chardonnay-2020","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
