About Richard Kershaw GPS Lower Duivenhoks River Chardonnay

Nowadays, GPS is so ingrained in our lives that it seems unthinkable to consider going anywhere without it. However, when we speak of the GPS Series by Master of Wine Richard Kershaw, we are not referring to a navigation system, but rather to a collection of wines that delve into unique terroirs, singular plots that narrate their own story.

Throughout the year, Richard Kershaw explores various regions beyond Elgin in search of sites in South Africa that deserve special attention. In 2016, he discovered a small plot of chardonnay cultivated on limestone soils, a rarity in the Western Cape. As limestone is often considered ideal for this grape variety, Richard seized the opportunity to its fullest. Thus, the GPS Series becomes a map of exceptional places, with each bottle marking a new coordinate of terroir.

One of the most remarkable examples is the Richard Kershaw GPS Lower Duivenhoks River Chardonnay, hailing from the Cape South Coast appellation. A 100% chardonnay that marries precision and passion in every detail. The grapes are hand-harvested, placed in small baskets, and gently whole-bunch pressed, with a meticulously controlled yield of 590 litres per ton. The juice flows by gravity directly into Burgundy oak barrels, without pumps or racking, and undergoes spontaneous fermentation to dryness, with no enzyme or yeast additions, avoiding malolactic fermentation. After resting in barrels for 4 months with a judicious addition of sulphur, the wine continues to mature for another 7 months, developing complexity and elegance.

With this Richard Kershaw GPS Lower Duivenhoks River Chardonnay, Richard Kershaw demonstrates that some of the finest discoveries are made not by following a map, but by paying attention to the landscape. 


 

2019

Richard Kershaw GPS Lower Duivenhoks River Chardonnay 2019 is an enchanting white wine with a pale straw hue that beckons exploration of its complexity. On the nose, it awakens with aromas of peach, fresh bread dough, and baked apple with cinnamon. On the palate, it offers a creamy texture and flavours of pineapple tart, peach, orange zest oil, and apricot, all balanced by a refreshing acidity. The finish extends the experience with intriguing notes of unburnt incense, pine, almonds, and oats. Recommended for its perfect balance between ripeness, freshness, and aromatic richness, making it memorable with every sip.
