Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A Rhône-style red blend from Elgin, one of South Africa's cooler climate wine regions, which lends the Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre trio a fresher, more elegant edge than warmer-region versions. Expect juicy red berry fruit, a savoury herbal lift, and gentle peppery spice, with soft, approachable tannins and moderate weight. Kershaw is known for meticulous, terroir-focused winemaking, so this entry-level blend is likely made with care despite its accessible, everyday-drinking style.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
