Kershaw Kogelberg Sandstone CY76 2020
Descrição
Estamos em Elgin, na região vinícola de Western Cape, na África do Sul, para apreciar um chardonnay elaborado por Richard Kershaw. Este enólogo de culto detém o título de Master of Wine desde 2011 e conta com a bênção da crítica internacional em todos os seus vinhos. O código CY76 no nome desta referência faz alusão ao clone da casta a partir da qual é elaborado. Um branco com uma inegável presença de carvalho francês, mas integrado na perfeição.

From the first sniff, the 2020 Deconstructed Kogelberg Sandstone CY76 Chardonnay is immensely profound and swinging for the fences. It's this year's best Chardonnay and is the most impressive of the Kershaw lineup. Opening with layers of citrus and oak, checking all of the boxes, this beautiful Chardonnay has that special “It” factor. With just-ripe, succulent layers of spicy citrus and yellow apple essence overflowing with elegance and finesse, this is Kershaw's most focused Chardonnay ever made. Medium-bodied and exuding precision and finesse, Chardonnay trophy hunters must seek this out and put it in their cellar. The palate explodes with impeccable layers of freshness and vibrancy with fantastic laser precision. I'd put this up against Burgundy any day. Only 497 bottles were produced, which were wild fermented and aged in 67% new French oak. My only complaint is that only three barrels were made for the entire world to share.
Espectacular !!!
