Kershaw Deconstructed Syrah Set 2015 2014

Richard Kershaw's immense passion and love for South Africa's Elgin region and noble grape varieties are both the inspiration and the foundation of the Kershaw Deconstructed Syrah wine range, consisting of two different Syrah clones from two adjacent plots in the western part of the Elgin region.

• The Lake District Cartref SH 9C Syrah comes from a pure vine plot in the western part of the Elgin region. When grown in cooler locations, this clone will later develop into wines with a sensory bouquet, a great balance and a hearty, tangy character. Of medium body and weight, this Syrah presents itself with a remarkable elegance, a refined tannin framework and excellent fruit purity. Nuances of white pepper, fragrant violets and lavender flowers, plum and iodine are accompanied by a pleasant freshness and dynamism as well as a lively acidity, which gives the wine a successful precision. (John Platter: 4.5 stars)

• The Lake District Cartref SH22 Syrah is a parcel of vines directly adjacent to the parcel of the 9C clone. The SH22 clone produces fuller wines of intense colour and fine structure - wines that tend to have a richer and denser concentration as the harvest yield of this clone is much lower, with notes of dark black fruit, black pepper and fleshy tones. (John Platter: 4.5 stars)
