Richard Kershaw Wines

A hugely complex wine with a lovely creamy silky feel. Aromas of spices, resin and church pews are complemented by dark mulberry fruits, red and black peppercorns, and chocolate dipped fruits. It has a layered texture with sweet fruits, savoury spice, a touch of bay leaf with some grip on the finish and griotte (similar to the morello cherry) flavours. This single vineyard block tucked up against the Kleinrivier Mountains has Glenrosa soils more commonly associated with warmer regions. In this case, sea breezes from Walker Bay act to significantly cool the vineyard. Klein River is the smallest wine ward in South Africa.
