Richard Kershaw Clonal Selection Chardonnay

Pale straw in colour with golden hues. The bouquet is a restrained, mineral style focussed on elegance with a white fruit character, some oatmeal and some complexity gained from percipient wood application. The palate is focused with understated power, pure fruit expression and incredible concentration of flavour whilst maintaining elegance and semblance of texture on the finish.

In 2012, owner Richard Kershaw MW, established Richard Kershaw Wines to create clonally selected, site-specific, cool climate wine paradigms from apposite noble grapes i.e. ones with the ability to produce world-class examples. SA’s coolest wine district, Elgin Valley, reflected these principles benefitting from higher altitude, ocean proximity, specific cloud cover sequencing, high cold units and a large diurnal range, enabling the germane grapes, Chardonnay, Syrah and more recently Pinot Noir, to show a sense of place. Being one of the few MW’s to make his own wine, he uses his vast knowledge to craft stunning wines that are easily a match for some of the world’s very best wines.
