About
Our grapes are grown in the cool-climate vineyards of Elgin in the Western Cape of South Africa. We produce a limited number of cases of Kershaw Elgin Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Noir each vintage under our Clonal Selection range, and site- soil- and clone- specific Elgin Chardonnay and Syrah in our Deconstructed range. We have recently introduced our GPS Series range which explores unusual sites from outside the Elgin region and our Smuggler's Boot range in which Richard uses a variety of winemaking techniques to produce easy-drinking wines. Our aim always is to produce some of the best wines of their style in South Africa.
Product Features
- Attractive strawberry, savoury and star anise spice linger on the nose. Juicy and sumptuous on the mid-palate with breadth of flavour offset by a nimbleness of fresh acidity, friable tannins and sinuous mouthfeel, this Pinot unwraps to earthy, fennel, chocolate and a hint of incense to a long supple finish.
- Spontaneous fermentation.
- 50% French oak barrels (10% new) and 50% breathable plastic eggs with the remaining pomace basket pressed.
- 1800 bottles produced

Yeah... no
We're not sure if you've noticed, but there a great many very different deals on today.
That means each of 'em will need their own witty blurb, and well, that's really way more than we'd like to write.
Not that it matters seeing as not being able to unionise sort-of limits your options.
So, we're doing what any motivated slacker (talk about paradoxes) would've done and figuring out the easiest route to keeping everyone happy (mostly).
No luck yet, but here's hoping.
We're effectively combining the excitement of writing words with just sitting here.
Is it working?
We'll take that as a yes.
