Complex and beautifully structured, with everything seamlessly integrated and nothing out of place. Focused and compelling.

This is a meaty, intense, well-structured iteration of the grape that doffs its béret to the wines of the northern Rhône Valley.

The Bokkeveld shale Syrah is comparatively dense and grippy - more Cornas than Côte Rôtie, if you want a Rhône Valley comparison - so is bold enough to soak up 100% new wood.
This is the most “Burgundian” of Richard Kershaw’s mouth-watering line up of Deconstructed Chardonnays, with some subtle struck match reduction, aromas of petrichor and white flowers.

Right up there with the very best Cape Chardonnays, this is a pithy, structured, wonderfully focused expression of the CY96 clone from a man who specialises in the variety.

Meliorating in the glass by the minute, there is tremendous focus and sophistication to this, one of the Cape’s finest Chardonnays.
