Lisha Nelson is the eldest daughter of Alan Nelson and studied at the University of Stellenbosch where she completed her BSc Degree in Viticulture and Oenology cum laude. Thereafter, she completed her MSc Degree on the subject of Brettanomyces. She then spent two seasons at Mulderbosch where she was shown the ropes by Mike Dobrovic, and another season at the Stonestreet Winery in California. Lisha's training and experience have given her a very well-rounded approach with regard to wine making and she believes in starting with a solid basis and applying the tried and tested methods in the industry to ensure the production of top quality handcrafted wines. Lisha started producing wines at Nelson Wine Estate at the end of 2007 and has already produced a fantastic Sauvignon Blanc which garnered great reviews from the Executive Committee of the South African Wine Tasters Guild during a blind tasting held recently. Lisha will also be one of the first woman winemakers in South Africa to launch a new range of wines under her own name. The wines will be known as "Lisha Nelson Signature Wines" and will be available shortly. |
