Paul Cluver Riesling

Tasting notes

A new blend from Paul Cluver, sitting between their Dry and Close Encounters which are no longer produced. The colour is pale, with a green apple tint. The nose is expressive with fresh green apple and citrus blossom notes, while the palate is delicate with elegantly clean and zesty lime notes. There is a great interplay between the naturally retained residual sugar and acidity.

The mineral core, which is linked to the shale-rich soils in which the vines grow, gives the wine structure and a lingering after taste. Awards DWWA & IWC: Silver Tim Atkin MW: 92 pts
