Paul Cluver Pinot Noir 2008 Elgin
Producer: Paul Cluver
Tasting Notes:
With excellent colour, this wine's expressive wild berry on the nose is complemented by hints of chocolate, violet and coffee aromas. The complex palate overflows with lingering sweet berry flavours; its finish is typically velvety. This vintage has tightly structured tannins ensuring that it will mature well. Of course it can savoured now, but you will miss out on the complexity it will gain in being cellared for five to seven years. Pinot noir's excellent natural acidity makes it a perfect partner for a diversity of dishes. Chilled slightly it is brilliant with seafood - shellfish, crayfish and game fish. Served at room temperature it's good with almost anything from grilled beef and game to roasted vegetables. With cheese, especially strong hard cheese, it's a real winner.

Country/Region: South Africa
Vintage: 2008
The Cluver family bought the Elgin farm in 1896 to provide summer
grazing for their livestock and in the mid 1900's it became a strong
apple producing region. In the mid 1980's the area was identified as a
cool climate wine-growing region which led to the first Cluver plantings
in 1986 with Paul Cluver cellar being the first to be established in
Elgin.
