87 Kershaw Elgin Chardonnay 2012 750ml 6 (1 x 6) R4 500 – 5 500 PROVENANCE Producer ITEM NOTES Born in the UK, Richard Kershaw was a successful chef before embarking on a new adventure in 1999 when he moved to South Africa to become a winemaker. Richard is currently one of only ten Masters of Wine who actively produce their own wine. Focusing on cool climate, site-specific, clonally-selected wines, this was his debut vintage, which achieved Platter’s 5 stars. Richard Kershaw is considered one of South Africa’s finest Chardonnay producers and most knowledgeable winemakers. ‘Refined understatement in stellar 2012, reflecting minimal but careful crafting, allowing fine acidity, minerality & judicious oak to perfectly frame & support citrus & white peach fruit. Precise & classy. Delicious now & for many years.’ Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2014, 5 stars
