Richard Kershaw ‘G.P.S. Series’ Syrah, Klein River

Made in tiny quantities, Richard Kershaw MW’s wines are always in high demand. Born in Sheffield, Richard trained and worked as a chef before discovering wine. He established Richard Kershaw Wines in 2012, specialising in the cool-climate wines of Elgin. Being one of the few MWs to make his own wine, he uses his vast knowledge to craft stunning wines that are easily a match for some of the world’s very best wines. The G.P.S. (Grape Positioning System) series is made from exciting small parcels of fruit selected from carefully chosen vineyards outside the Elgin Valley.

Heady aromas of black pepper, cinnamon stick and black cherry lead to a succulent and voluminous palate. Lush Morello cherry flavours are layered with liquorice, baked plums and bay leaf, underpinned by fine grippy tannins.
