Chardonnay Estate Wine - Paul Cluver

Chardonnay Estate Wine - Paul CluverPaul Cluver's Chardonnay Estate Wine displays a clean, bright color with green-yellow highlights. The nose offers notes of lots of buttered toast, brioche complemented by a tangy citrus aroma of tangerine and orange blossom. Hints of vanilla bean and toasted almond flakes round out the fragrance profile. The characteristics of the bouquet continue on the palate, where they are matched 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 appears stimulating and nicely balanced as well as elegant and enormously long with some minerality. Food recommendation for the Chardonnay from Paul Cluver Drink it with clam chowder, creamy pasta dishes, fish (salmon), poultry, wild fowl and pork. It is also a wonderful treat solo. Vinification for the Chardonnay Estate Wine by Paul Cluver The wine was first fermented in different barriques before a portion remained on the lees and the other portion (40%) underwent malolactic fermentation. Subsequently, both lots were united. The designation Estate Wine is a South African quality designation that guarantees that the wine was grown and produced on a registered estate.
