ORIGINS
Winery: Lismore
Region: Overberg
The Overberg wine region, located east of Cape Town in South Africa's Western Cape, is a relatively young but exciting player in the country's wine scene. Most vineyards were planted in the 1990s and 2000s, taking advantage of the region's cool climate and proximity to the ocean, particularly the influence of Walker Bay. This cool climate creates ideal conditions for growing certain grape varieties, with sub-regions like Hemel-en-Aarde Valley flourishing with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and Elgin excelling in Sauvignon Blanc. Overberg is gaining recognition for its high-quality wines, with some receiving national and international acclaim. The region also holds potential for wine tourism development, offering visitors scenic beauty, unique cellar door experiences, and the chance to discover South Africa's up-and-coming wine country.CUSTOMER RATING
