Kershaw Deconstructed Groenland Bokkeveld Shale CY458 Chardonnay 2017 (750ml) Yolo CountyThe inspiration for this Chardonnay stems from my belief dat the Elgin region has both a signature grape as well as particular terroirs within its demarcated boundary that reflect regional credentials. This Chardonnay was selected from a sub region of Elgin from a specific vineyard and an individual clone (CY548).

This is a youthful intense and brooding vintage for the FIGGINS Estate Red
