Richard Kershaw Wines
Richard Kershaw philosophy is not so much a rubric. It’s more that they try to make wines that reflect the sense of place, making them in a way that is non-interventionist; it’s to try and reflect those qualities in the glass.
The emphasis has to be on the vineyard first, but Richard also believe that the maturation cycle plays a second important role whilst the winemaking is arguably only third. Richard belief stems from the fact that the time the vine and bunches have grown is over a six-month period whilst the wine will mature for an equally if not longer time.
Richard Kershaw started Kershaw Wines as an entity in 2012. He started with Chardonnay and Syrah and in 2015 Pinot Noir joined the fray. In November 2021, Richard joined the Cape Winemakers Guild. An invitational membership of passionate winemakers who have played a pioneering role in the South African wine industry and who have excelled in their field.
