The grape material for the Kershaw Deconstructed Chardonnay CY95 comes from the cool Elgin region in the Western Cape, where it thrives on Bokkeveld claystone. This Chardonnay clone is known for its excellent quality and produces first class wines of lush full-bodied and intensely aromatic character. This powerful, yet tightly structured and well-balanced Chardonnay convinces with a remarkable length and at the same time presents itself with restraint and grandiose passivity on the palate, which is characterized by nuances of white peach and juicy nectarine. Bokkeveld claystone transmits a perfume into the wine that bewitches the nose as well as enduring persistence and elegance.

Richard Kershaw's immense passion and love for South Africa's Elgin region and noble grape varieties are both the inspiration and the foundation of the Kershaw Deconstructed Chardonnay wine range, consisting of three different Chardonnay clones grown in the western part of the Elgin region.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were hand-picked in the early, cool autumn morning hours and immediately transported in small baskets to the press, where the berries were gently pressed all over the bunch. The juice thus obtained flowed by pure gravitational force without the use of pumps directly into the barrel, where the unclarified juice fermented spontaneously without the addition of enzymes or yeast cultures through natural yeast found wild in the environment and on the fruit. Malolactic fermentation was prevented. After fermentation, the wine rested in the barrel for 4 months and, after careful sulphurization, matured in the barrel for another 7 months before being skimmed and bottled. For the ageing in wood, handcrafted oak barrels from Burgundy were used, 50% of which were new wood and 50% second and third oak. This wine was produced in a limited quantity of 350 bottles in total - each bottle with individual identification on the label.
