Wine Description:

The Richard Kershaw G.P.S. Series Lower Duivenhoks River Chardonnay 2021 is a refined and expressive white wine that showcases the unique character of South Africa's cool-climate Lower Duivenhoks River region. Crafted by the renowned Richard Kershaw MW, this Chardonnay embodies both elegance and complexity. The 2021 vintage opens with captivating aromas of bright citrus fruits, including lemon zest and orange blossom, complemented by delicate mineral notes that evoke the region’s unique terroir.

On the palate, this Chardonnay presents a striking balance of richness and freshness. The wine’s texture is creamy and smooth, yet it remains crisp and lively due to a backbone of vibrant acidity. Flavours of fresh peach, crisp green apple, and a touch of grapefruit intertwine with subtle nuances of honeycomb and white flowers, creating a harmonious and layered tasting experience. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, leaving a lasting impression of purity and finesse.

This wine is a fantastic choice for those seeking a complex and well-balanced Chardonnay with a cool-climate profile. Its bright acidity and textured body make it a versatile companion for seafood, grilled chicken, or creamy pasta dishes.

Winery	The G.P.S. (Grape Positioning System) series is made from exciting small parcels of fruit selected from carefully chosen vineyards outside the Elgin Valley. The Chardonnay grapes come from a small parcel of vines grown as a single vineyard block in the Lower Duivenhoks River district in the Western Cape. The pure limestone soil is a rarity in the Western Cape; it is a soil in which Chardonnay flourishes and produces elegant, fresh wines. The Dijon clone CY95 vines thrive in this warm Mediterranean climate, tempered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Duivenhoks River. The wide diurnal temperature ranges create a long hang time during which the grape cluster stays connected to its roots for longer, developing complex characteristics and gradually achieving physiological ripeness balanced by natural acidity.
