Product Description:
The 2020 Kershaw GPS Lower Duivenhoks River Chardonnay is a sophisticated wine, exuding aromas of baked apple, citrus, and toast. The palate is lithe and structured, mirroring the notes of the bouquet. The length - one of the tell-tale signs of a wine's quality - is satisfying and generous. This wine is delicious now, in its youth; however, it will continue to evolve and gain complexity in the cellar for seven or more years.

Vinifikation
In 2016, Richard Kershaw discovered a small parcel of Chardonnay grapes growing on limestone soils, a rarity in the Western Cape. With limestone soils often considered beneficial for Chardonnay grapes, it made sense to seize this opportunity. The GPS series is a testament to this special location. The grapes were hand-picked in the early morning hours and gently whole-bunch pressed, yielding 590 liters of juice per ton. The grape must flowed directly into barrels and underwent spontaneous fermentation without subsequent malolactic fermentation. It was aged for 12 months in 62% new Burgundy barriques.
