Paul Cluver Village Pinot Noir, Elgin 2020

A South African answer to village level Burgundy

Beautiful aromas of red fruits intermingle with roasted spices.
A delicious palate of cherries and poached ripe plums. A medium-bodied wine with soft tannins.
Cluver select vineyards which have not yet reached full maturity, as younger vines tend to show more varietal character.
After fermentation and pressing, the wine was transferred to older French oak barrels and 5000 litre wooden vats for malolactic fermentation and maturation. The wine was partially matured in French oak for 10 months to add complexity.
Great with lighter meat or vegetable dishes, or on its own.
