Lemon blossom, ripe pear and peach unfold alongside orange peel and a delicate tropical hint, with notes of oatmeal, lemon biscuit and gentle oak spice adding depth. A chalky undertone runs beneath the fruit, bringing a savoury edge to its inviting aromas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palate opens with a rounded, almost creamy generosity before bright acidity draws everything into focus. Citrus peel brings a pleasing pithiness through the middle, balancing the ripe fruit and giving the wine an appetising sense of grip. Oak is woven into the texture, supporting a long finish of lemon cream, grapefruit and mineral freshness. There is plenty to enjoy now, especially as it opens alongside food, while its concentration and balance offer scope for further development. A distinctive South African Chardonnay for anyone drawn to whites with both richness and precision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA leisurely lunch becomes an excuse to open something rather special.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoast turbot with lemon butter, lobster thermidor, scallops with celeriac purée, chicken with tarragon cream, grilled pork loin with sage, or a wild mushroom and Parmesan tart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eG.P.S. stands for Grape Positioning System, Richard Kershaw’s exploration of exceptional vineyard sites beyond his Elgin base. This Chardonnay comes from a single block in Lower Duivenhoks River, where he discovered an unusual pocket of limestone soils in 2016. The site offered an opportunity to explore Chardonnay’s affinity with limestone, producing a wine that balances generous texture with a distinctive chalky freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56394949493121,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2021Chardonnay_G.P.SSeries_Kershaw.png?v=1791965380","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2021-chardonnay-g-p-s-series-kershaw","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
