“Our commitment is to make the best wines possible from the vine clones best suited to our unique terroir. Our grapes are grown in the cool climate vineyards of Elgin in the Western Cape of South Africa. We produce only a very limited number of cases of Kershaw Elgin Chardonnay and Kershaw Elgin Syrah each vintage. Our aim always is to produce some of the best wines of their style in South Africa.” - Richard Kershaw
Description
The Kershaw Elgin Chardonnay Clonal Selection 2019 offers a refined and elegant profile. It displays aromas of roasted grain, wet stones, and lemon peel, indicative of its mineral-rich character. On the palate, expect precise flavors of yellow fruits and citrus zest, along with a distinct smoky gunflint note. The wine's minerality is well-integrated with a fresh acidity, making it both vibrant and complex.
Food Pairing
This Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, such as seared scallops or grilled fish, and is also a good match for roasted poultry and creamy pasta dishes. Its bright acidity and mineral notes provide a versatile base for pairing with a range of foods, enhancing flavors without overpowering them.
