Product information "Kershaw Clonal Selection Elgin Chardonnay 2021"
The Kershaw Clonal Selection Elgin Chardonnay has a restrained mineral style with a focus on harmony and precision. In the foreground is its white pear character - unobtrusively underscored by a hint of oats and a wonderfully subtle complexity due to the outstandingly integrated wood integration. An absolute must for every Chardonnay lover!
For the production of the Kershaw Elgin Chardonnay, the Dijon clones CY76, CY95, CY96 and CY548 with low harvest yield were used, which were developed at the University of Burgogne in Dijon. Richard Kershaw's award-winning Kershaw Elgin Chardonnay is causing a real stir in the wine industry not only in South Africa but also internationally.

The grapes for this first-class Chardonnay were harvested by hand on an early autumn morning and transported in 10 kg staircases, which were immediately emptied into the press on arrival at the winery, where they were pressed all over the bunch. The yield of the pressing was kept low at 590 litres per tonne of grapes. The juice flowed directly into the cask by gravity (without the use of any pumps), without separating the juice from any sediment by resting. No enzymes, yeast cultures or acid were added to the unclarified juice, which was then subjected to spontaneous fermentation. The wine rested for 4 months in French oak barrels before being sulphurized with great care and matured in the barrel for a further 7 months. 38% of the barrels used here were made of new wood, the remaining part of second and third wood. Each bottle received its own unique identification number.
