“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
Light green-lemon in colour, the nose displays stimulating aromas of Meyer lemon, nettle, apple and mandarin that slowly open further to thiols of blackcurrant leaf and English gooseberry. A soft, inviting palate entry with a juicy core of fruit balanced with a fresh line of zingy acidity. A hint of Semillon adds a little weight and depth to the core. Plenty of fruit, ripe apple slices, grapefruit, hints of granadilla run alongside a gentle dusty, lime/lemon combination and a lick of sherbet. The finish is long and surprisingly soft.
Food Pairing
Seafood is always a winner – Fresh crab with cracked pepper & a squeeze of lemon juice on crusty wholewheat bread, Smoked salmon on rye bread, Prawn kebabs marinated in lemon, garlic and parsley and grilled on the BBQ or shake it up with lemon, dried juniper berries & fresh rosemary. Pasta with pesto sauce and shavings of Parmesan Cheese (not blue cheese) Soufflé, and Caprese salad. Vegan options include Risotto with peas & mint, Artichokes roasted with lemon & mint, Gazpacho, and Avocado & black sesame seed sushi.
