GPS Series:  It was in 2016, when Kershaw discovered on one of his walks outside Elgin, a small plot of Chardonnay, grown on limestone soils - limestone being a rarity in the Western Cape - and very important as a Chardonnay variety. So, he didn't miss an opportunity and created the GPS series as a reference point for the potential of the place and a sign of joy for this discovery!

Restrained, with a strong mineral character, fresh fruit, and carved edges that express the influence of the limestone soil. Clean, lively aromas of lemon blossom, wet chalk, and stone grits. Penetrating intensity, acidity with variations, full body. Flavors of pure fruit like orange peel, peach, and grapefruit peel, but also oatmeal, and biscuits with sour fillings like lemon, with a long finish.

 The grapes are picked by hand early in the morning, the whole bunches are placed in small tanks, which are driven directly to the press at a maximum of 0.6 bar or until a concentration of 615 liters per ton is reached. The juice flows directly into the barrel without the use of pumps, before the settling of the sediment. Spontaneous fermentation begins. The wine rests in barrels for 4 months before sulphurization and then matures in the barrel for another 7 months before bottling.

Barrels: A small number of barrels were selected, all from Burgundy, only French oak. Importantly, each clone and soil type was micro-distributed as a separate batch. Each lot used an algorithm set up to keep data on which barrels performed best and how many new and how many used barrels were used. Overall, the average in 2018 was 100% new oak barrels, and 43.% and 100% of 228 liters.
