Elgin

This three-bottle case is a collection of three masterfully crafted Chardonnays from Richard Kershaw. The inspiration for the Deconstructed wines stems from Richard’s belief that Elgin has both a signature grape and regional distinctions. Here, he has judiciously selected specific Elgin sites and Burgundian clones to express their distinct qualities.

The Lake District Bokkeveld Shales CY 95 is aromatic, fuller-bodied and rich, with white peach flesh and a delicate perfume. The Groenland Bokkeveld Shales CY 548 is structured and concentrated, with aromas of lemon blossom and a flinty minerality. The Groenland Koffieklip CY 96 has slightly lower alcohol. It’s elegant and sharp, with subtle citrus, peach blossom with a nutty complexity.

The wines all possess an inherent elegance and restraint. There is a hint of grip and the oak is completely integrated, contributing to texturally very fine wines. They are fresh and very, very long.

This case contains one bottle (75cl) of each of the following:
2015 Lake District Bokkeveld Shales CY 95
2015 Groenland Bokkeveld Shales CY 548
2015 Groenland Koffieklip CY 96

Elgin’s cool climate contributes to a more mineral and restrained style of Syrah. Add Richard’s extraordinary attention to detail and you have a wine that breaks all expectations, with notes of tapenade, iodine and black pepper.
Crunchy & refreshing.
100% Syrah.

Spice and flint on the nose are layered with citrus pith and lemon cream. The attack is brisk and leads to an elegant, scented palate. There is a hint of grip and the oak is completely integrated, contributing to a texturally very fine wine. Fresh and very, very long.
