{"product_id":"clonal-elgin-chardonnay-2024","title":"Clonal Elgin Chardonnay 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eKershaw Wines Clonal Selection Elgin Chardonnay 2024 brings together four Chardonnay clones grown in Elgin: CY95, CY96, CY76 and CY548. Tim Atkin notes that 30% new barrels were used, yet describes a wine defined by focus and freshness. The clonal approach gives this bottling its distinctive premise: several expressions of Chardonnay brought together in one carefully shaped wine. Its stone-fruit and lemongrass notes offer a glimpse of that balance before the first sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Kershaw founded Kershaw Wines in 2012, beginning with Chardonnay and Syrah. A Master of Wine as well as a winemaker, he places the vineyard at the centre of his approach and pays close attention to how fruit from different clones and soils develops through maturation. He joined the Cape Winemakers Guild in 2021. Elgin remains central to the estate’s work, giving this Chardonnay a clear sense of its origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour a glass as a long lunch gathers pace, or bring it to the table when a carefully cooked supper deserves an equally considered bottle.

Lemongrass and delicate stone-fruit flavours sit alongside a light suggestion of nutmeg and vanilla. Oak contributes to the wine’s structure without obscuring its fruit, while a tangy finish leaves a clean, lively impression. It is a Chardonnay with both poise and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTry lemon-roasted chicken, whose savoury richness meets the wine’s bright acidity; pan-fried sea bass, lifted by its citrus notes; or a mushroom risotto, complemented by its subtle oak spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 500px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottle Size: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 750 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 13,50 %\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"search-text-block d-none\"\u003eEstate: Kershaw Wines\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taste of Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66369886519645,"sku":"KERCH24","price":48.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/2281\/8653\/products\/64940256898c8_kershaw_chardonnay_elgin_clonale.jpg?v=1706215450","url":"https:\/\/taste-of-africa.eu\/products\/clonal-elgin-chardonnay-2024","provider":"Taste of Africa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
