“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
This Chardonnay exhibits a light yellow-straw color with complex aromas of lemon, gardenia, chalk, and powdered rock. The palate reveals a deep flavor concentration with a mineral and wet pebble texture, underpinned by incisive acidity. Notes of jasmine, lemon cream, and white nectarine lead to a long finish, featuring hints of cooked oats and creamy lemon biscuits from extended lees aging.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted chicken, seafood like lobster or scallops, and creamy pasta dishes. Its bright acidity and mineral notes complement the richness of these foods, making it a versatile choice for pairing.
