Product information "Paul Clüver Riesling 2025"
The Paul Cluver Estate Riesling presents itself of a delicate straw colour with fresh apple-green colour reflections in the glass. Its bouquet of fresh Granny Smith apples, fragrant apple blossom, beeswax and fynbos honey ensnares the nose and lets the anticipation rise to the first sip. On the palate this wonderful Riesling is crisp, clear and fresh, a bit like lemon sorbet, and the natural sugar and acidity provide an interesting and harmonious interlude. The mineral core of the wine is absolutely stunning and provides an excellent structure and a long lasting finish! An immensely fresh drop that inspires!

The grapes were carefully sorted both in the vineyard and a second time in the cellar and selected for further production, berry by berry. After the soft pressing of the berries, only the free-running juice was allowed to ferment, with the addition of selected yeast cultures. 25% of the wine fermented in large oak barrels with a capacity of 2500 litres per barrel, while the remaining part fermented in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the various components were blended and bottled for ready consumption.
