‘Recent New Finds Coming To HaperWells In-Store Wine Tasting’!

I recently attended a portfolio tasting in Cambridge earlier this month and was totally ‘blown away’ by the many wines that I tasted on the day.

So, while scratching my head as to what I wanted to theme this month’s Thursday in-store wine session, it dawned on me to show you all a few ‘newbies’ that HarperWells will be stocking soon.

On Thursday, 19th September 2024 it gives us great delight to have with us winemaker extraordinaire  ‘Samantha O’Keefe’ owner and winemaker of Lismore Estate based in Greyton, on the Western Cape.  The wines that she creates are incredible and trust us when we say that this is an evening you will definitely not want to miss out on.

Please find a bit more of Samantha’s story below:

American-born Samantha, a southern California native and a graduate of UC Berkeley, arrived in South Africa in 2000 and in 2003 established her own wine business and brand, Lismore. She planted vineyards on the slopes of a dramatic mountain range in a previously unknown region and is responsible for the establishment of Wine of Origin Greyton. Her focus and passion is cool-climate, elegant, classically styled wines that speak with a distinct voice and tell the story of their terroir. Samantha’s wines are highly regarded across the globe and acclaimed by international commentators.

Samantha’s home, vineyards and winery were destroyed by a raging bushfire in December 2019 and all her years of hard work went up in flames in a matter of hours. Yet this intrepid winemaker, with the help and support of her colleagues in the wine industry, has rebuilt, replanted and Lismore continues to thrive, a testament to her spirit. She is the proud mother of two sons, Keenan and Quinn, who are often with her in the cellar sharing her passion and building on her vision.

The wine flight for the evening will include the follwoing:

2021 Chardonnay Cape South Coast

2021 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc, Western Cape

2022 ‘The Age of Grace’ Viognier, Cape South Coast

2022 Chenin Blanc, Cape South Coast

2021 Syrah, Cape South Coast

2021 Pinot Noir, Cape South Coast

2022 Syrah Estate Reserve

We really hope that you can make what is guaranteed to be one of our highlight wine evenings of the year! 

We are pleased to announce that we will have David Rego ambassador for Herdade Do Rocim in store on Tuesday 3rd September.

A bit of history of the Quinta:
Herdade do Rocim is an estate located between Vidigueria and Cuba, in the Lower Alentejo.  It comprises 120 hectares, 70 of which are made up of vineyards and 10 hectares of olive trees.  Since in inception in 2000, Herdade do Rocim has invested heavily in the vineyards, replanting vines and introducing new varieties. They cultivate the vineyard sustainably and are associated with the Sustainable Program of the Alentejo Viticulture. They are pioneers in ‘amphora wines’, following the ancient traditions  of vinifications in pots known as ‘Talha’. The vineyard is cultivated manually and minimal intervention is used in the cellar, to produce fresh, elegant and mineral wines.  In 2018, Herdade do Rocim was awarded Best Wine Producer by Revisat de Vinhos.

David will talk us through eight of his wines and ‘trust me’ as there will be some handsome examples for you to try both in white and red!

£10.00’s a place but if you book you can bring a guest at no additional cost!

August 2024 is International Albariño Month, and we here at HaperWells are celebrating this beautiful white wine next Thursday 29th August 2024.
I’ll be showing a fantastic selection of wines from this particular part of north-west Spain in the region of ‘Rias Baixas’ located in Galicia.

If you  like crisp, fresh mineral wines (with a bit of texture) then ‘look no further’ and stop on by for slurp and a bit of banter about the region and, of course, the wines on show.
