Kershaw Wines Syrah ‘G.P.S Series’ is a striking, terroir-driven red wine that showcases the elegance and intensity of cool-climate Elgin Syrah. The G.P.S Series - named for the geological, pedological, and site-specific focus of the vineyards - represents Kershaw Wines’ commitment to precision and minimal-intervention winemaking. Sourced from carefully selected parcels with distinctive soil compositions, this Syrah is crafted to express site over style. The result is a wine of restraint, complexity, and fine structure, standing apart from heavier, warmer-climate Syrah styles. It combines purity of fruit with savoury depth, refined tannins, and exceptional balance, making it a favourite among sommeliers and collectors.
This is a modern South African Syrah - Ideal with grilled lamb, game, roasted meats, mushrooms, and hearty vegetarian dishes
