About this WINE
Lammershoek Wines
Lammeshoek are an iconoclastic South African winery based in Paardeberg. They have 70-hectare of vineyards on granitic, sandy soils that incorporates some very old bush vines as well as more recent plantings. They also have room for olive trees, chickens and cattle. Their winemaking philosophy is low intervention, with no new oak and minimal sulphuring.
Their LAM range is from young vines and is intended as a fruit expressive introduction to the winery. The Cellar Foot range is where their creativity and novel approach is fully expressed.
Other Varieties
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Description
Fresh fruit and acid dominate this old vine Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Chardonnay blend. Low alcohol and natural acidity are key to ensuring that the wine will age. On the nose a sense of coolness is the first impression, then the subtle fresh flavours of Chenin and Viognier become apparent, and the Chardonnay adds a touch of weight. There are none of the typical waxy characters that one normally finds on a Swartland Viognier and Chenin Blanc blend.
