Kershaw Kogelberg Ironstone CY548 2021

Sourced from the foothills of the Western part of Elgin, CY548 is a clone that came from cuttings planted in Corton-Charlemagne in Burgundy. True to its origin, the profile reflects the more austere and robust structure profile that yields a pulverised stone texture alongside razor-edged acidity.

The wine rested in barrel for 4 months prior to judicious sulphuring and a further 7 months maturation in barrel before racking and bottling. A small number of artisanal coopers were selected, all from Burgundy and only French oak was chosen. Importantly, this wine was micro-vinified as a separate batch. In 2021, 100% was new oak; 100% using 228 litre barrels.
