About this Item

Kershaw Wines
Clonal Selection Elgin Pinot Noir 2018
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
In 2012, owner Richard Kershaw MW, established Richard Kershaw Wines to create clonally selected, site-specific, cool climate wine paradigms from apposite noble grapes i.e. ones with the ability to produce world-class examples. SA's coolest wine district, Elgin Valley, reflected these principles benefitting from higher altitude, ocean proximity, specific cloud cover sequencing, high cold units and a large diurnal range, enabling the germane grapes, Chardonnay, Syrah and more recently Pinot Noir, to show a sense of place.

Critics Ratings

'He may be better known for his Chardonnays and Syrahs, but Richard Kershaw is making increasingly impressive Pinot Noirs. Made from a blend of 113, 115, 667 and 777 clones, this is juicy, floral and subtly spicy, with well-handled 20% new wood, 5% whole bunches and summer berry flavours supported by savoury tannins. 2020-25.' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2019, 92 Points

'Expressive and spicy in the glass, the 2018 Clonal Selection Elgin Syrah pops with notions of black peppercorn with spiced plum and black cherry essence. Medium-bodied and with a fresh and ripe palate, flavors of black raspberry and red peppercorn sway with succulent bright red fruit flavors and a gorgeous potpourri essence. As the Syrah sits on the palate, it expresses a fine rocky minerality, firming up with succulent tannins before ending with a brilliant, oaky finish.'- Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Oct 2019)
