Kershaw Chardonnays – The best SA has to offer for International Chardonnay Day Friday, 21 May 2021
 

Wine Cellar Weekly: 97-pt benchmark wine, scarce second Bordeaux, brilliant Cape white blend & more

Today's mailer is packed with big names in the industry – Master of Wine Richard Kershaw, Miles Mossop, Carsten Migliarina, Mzokhona Mvemve and Bruwer Raats. We have 5 Chardonnays from Kershaw's Clonal Selection, Deconstructed Range and GPS Series. Miles Mossop's Saskia is 'a must' for any Cape white blend lover. Migliarina's Syrah is not only great value but also one of our best sellers. MR de Compostella recently scored 97 points and even has the likes of Neal Martin raving about it. Lastly, we have the Thienpont family's rare second wine of Vieux Château Certan with as interesting story as to the origin of their famous pink cap.

Kershaw, Chardonnays 2018
From R 620 per bottle

Richard Kershaw MW’s ‘remarkable Chardonnay has established itself as one of the finest examples of the variety in the Cape,’ says Tim Atkin MW. Produced in small quantities, his multiple award-winning Chardonnays are a product of his vision to showcase the true essence of the Elgin climate, soil and clones. Kershaw has special prowess when it comes to the terroir of the Elgin region. We are delighted to offer you some of the absolute best Chardonnays that SA has to offer!

La Gravette de Certan, Pomerol 2017
R 1,650 per bottle

'This is quietly one of the best second wines in Bordeaux,' wrote Wine Spectator. Precise, elegant and finessed – it is not often that you find a second wine that's more scarce to come by than the Grand Vin – and at less than a quarter of the price. It is known to rival some of the top wines of Pomerol with its gravelly tannins and sophisticated palate, making for wonderful drinking from 2022 onwards. Interestingly, their now characteristic pink capsule was used by the Thienpont family to easily see which of their customers were drinking their wine.

Miles Mossop Wines, Saskia White 2018
R 300 per bottle

The brilliant Saskia White is a Chenin-based, Cape blend under Miles Mossop's flagship Family range. The 2018 scored 94 points from both Platter's Guide and Tim Atkin MW who stated that, when tasted alongside the 2017, the 2018 was his preferred wine. This complex blend is fresh and elegant with flavours of white peach and guava.

Mvemve Raats, De Compostella 2018
R 1,650 per bottle

Consistently one of SA's very best wines, the 2018 MR de Compostella has just received 97 points from Greg Sherwood MW who says that it is 'undoubtedly another individually monumental wine'. De Compostella is a favourite of Neal Martin too, he recalls tasting the 2008 vintage on his first visit to the Cape and 'babbling on about how I had just tasted the best wine of my trip.' He continues, 'on my bucket list of wine-related things to do... is to conduct an unabridged vertical of Mvemve Raats MR de Compostella.'

Migliarina, Syrah 2018
R 155 per bottle

Carsten Migliarina's wines always impress. Since 2002, he has quietly been sticking to his vision of producing food-friendly, refined wines that also offer immense value. He works with small-batch parcels, sourcing grapes from across the Western Cape and expressing his creativity by producing some truly unique wines. The 2018 Syrah is sure to please with wild strawberry, firm tannins and a succulent, lasting, red berry finish.
