Chardonnay Estate Wine - Paul Cluver

Chardonnay Estate Wine - Paul CluverPaul Cluver's Chardonnay Estate Wine presents itself in a clear, radiant color with green-yellow highlights. On the nose, there are notes of plenty of buttered toast and brioche, complemented by a zesty citrus aroma of tangerine and orange blossom. Hints of vanilla pods and roasted almond flakes round off the aromatic profile. The characteristics of the bouquet continue on the palate, where they are balanced by a fine, fresh and natural acidity. The latter gives the wine a compact body as well as balance and concentration. On the finish, it is stimulating and beautifully balanced, elegant and extremely long with a touch of minerality.
