2017 Richard Kershaw Syrah, Elgin, Western Cape, South AfricaABOUT THIS WINE Selected from 5 small parcels of Syrah. This Syrah went through a 17 month maturation. No finings were necessary, and the wine was simply racked and bottled unfiltered. A small number of artisanal coopers were selected from Burgundy and Rhone, with only French oak chosen. Importantly, each clone and soil type were micro vinified as separate batches. Each batch used an algorithm that we have developed to ascertain which coopers work
