Set up in 1987 by Alan Nelson, the winery is now under the leadership of his daughter Lisha Nelson. The vineyards are located between the Paarl and Perdeberg mountains in a sub-region known as Agter Paarl. Here, the icy Benguela current, flowing northward along the west coast of Africa, breathes streams of cool air into the valley at night, the effects of which combine with the soils’ granite structure to give a crunchy mineral depth to Lisha’s minimal-intervention wines. Dirceu Vianna Junior MW: Graceful and delicately perfumed. Aromas of forest fruits, wet earth, graphite and dried herbs; hints of sweet spices. Sophisticated structure. Harmonious, with a delicious, savoury finish. Eugenio Egorov: Nose offers mature notes of blackcurrant, blueberry and prune with hints of balsamic, herbs, smoked meat and tobacco leaf. Lean palate with good structure and complexity. Roger Jones: This has evolved well, delivering a beautifully structured wine that’s ready to enjoy now but will also benefit from further ageing. Precision, purity, elegance, seamless.
