Kershaw Clonal Chardonnay 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R795
‘From 11 vineyards planted to five different clones. Expressive aromatics of pear, peach, citrus, oatmeal, vanilla and spice. The palate is wonderfully harmonious with pure fruit and lively acidity. Plenty of detail and good length to the finish. Alc: 13%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
‘Eleven different sites in the north, west and southern quadrants of Elgin are the source of this delightful Chardonnay, produced in decent volumes of 15,000 bottles. Orange zest, patisserie and crème fraîche flavours are supported and freshened by chiselled acidity. 2023-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 94/100
