About this Item
Richard Kershaw was a successful chef in the UK before working as a cellar-hand in California, Chile, France, Germany and Hungary. He relocated to South Africa in 1999 and is currently one of only ten Masters of Wine who actively produce their own wine. Focusing on cool climate, site-specific, clonally-selected wines, Richard hit the ground running in Elgin valley, immediately gaining a reputation as one of South Africa’s finest Chardonnay producers and most knowledgeable winemakers.
Winemakers personal tasting note:
'Mid Garnet colour. Aromas of ground peppercorns, raw meat, a pinch of cranberry and a savoury, tertiary overlay. The palate has a supple, elegant feel to it, mid-weight with a sinuous, texture and resolved fine tannins. The flavours of white pepper, dark chocolate cake and black fruits are underpinned with a rasp of acidity. Already complex the fresh acid and present yet fine tannins should keep for a few years still.' - Richard Kershaw
