Kershaw CLonal Selection Chardonnay 750ml

Kershaw CLonal Selection Chardonnay 750ml

A precise entry, with incisive acidity with mineral and chalk texture. A lifted mid-palate is filled with apple, spiced poached pear and white pepper.Ascented
Freesia is running down the spine of the wine giving elegance to the wine.

Restrained, mineral style focused on elegance with a white fruit character, some oatmeal and some complexity gained from percipient applied wood.

Selected from 11 small parcels of Chardonnay.

The wine rested in barrel for eleven months. A small number of artisanal coopers were selected, all from Burgundy and only French oak was chosen. Importantly, each clone and soil type was microvinified as separate batches. Each batch used an algorithm that we have developed to ascertain which coopers work best and how many new and used barrels are utilised.
