A bit reduced at first, then opening to sour cherries, candy, gaining conolexity. Great acid and length — 3 years ago

Crisp with a hint of sweetness. Nice earthy tones. Better with food than as a stand-alone. — 6 years ago

17+/20 (92+/100) Аромат вишни, клубники, яблока, кожи и заметным «дубовым» тоном. Довольно тельное и кислотное. Серьезный пино нуар с потенциалом к выдержке. #capewine2018 — 8 years ago

Paul Cluver Estate Elgin Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 is one of the greatest South African wines of all times.

Having tasted it since its released in 2002 and over the years, this outstanding Bordeaux Left Bank inspired wine, shows depth, complexity and sweetness of maturity.

Amazing #Chardonnay for the price. High balanced acidity with ripe and tangy fruit and subtle and well-integrated toast. I highly recommend this wine as a house Chard. #under20 #southafricanwine — 6 years ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Узнаваемый, свежий совиньон: крыжовник, белая смородина, лимоны. Довольно высокая кислотность, кремовая текстура (есть добавка семильона 8%). Неплохо. #capewine2018 — 8 years ago

17.5/20 (94/100) Насыщенный аромат с тонами спелых абрикосов, лимонного мармелада, корицы и мёда. Сладкое, тельное с высокой кислотностью. Насыщенное во вкусе. Прекрасный баланс. Отлично! #capewine2018 — 8 years ago

My first South African Pinot Noir! (From the Elgin Region). Very interesting. Big oak aromas and flavors much of which does burn off. (Barrels heavily charred?) Also violets, charcoal and dark cherry on the nose. Pallet notes more dark cherry and grilled rosemary. Light bodied and mouth watering acidity, but beautifully balanced. Interesting wine. — 6 years ago

Classic Riesling with lime, slate and minerals, and a beautiful off-dry impression whilst actually being dry. A joy. — 7 years ago

17/20 (92/100) Молодой аромат с нотами яблок, масла, поджаренного хлеба, спичечной головки. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и меловой текстурой. Вкус, скорее, цитрусовый с тонами выдержки в дубе. Очень хорошо! #capewine2018 — 8 years ago

@Delectable Wine this is the 2017 Paul Cluver Wines Cape Winemakers Guild The Wagon Trail Chardonnay.

Our first time every at the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction and we will make sure to come back! (Tasting was on 9/28/18).

Ninth wine at the Friday Auction Tasting for the Cape Winemakers Guild and seventh still white wine. This is made up of 100% Chardonnay by Andries Burger from Elgin. Fruit was 100% wild fermented in 33% new French oak and on the lees for nine months. Only 70 cases produced with 40 being auctioned in 2018.

Light to medium greenish yellow in appearance. Interesting nose with stone and citrus fruits, some creaminess, spices and a touch of oak. Not as much oak influence as some of the other Chardonnays this tasting. Medium plus acidity (7/10) and a bit sharp with a light plus body. Palate likes to linger with layers of peaches, lemons, green apples and some white gravel. Long finish. Drink till 2025.

$$ - Tasted at the Cape Winemakers Auction. Average bid at auction was R4,910.00 ($57.82 a bottle) a case. Highest bid was R5,400.00 ($63.60 a bottle) and lowest bid was R4,600.00 ($54.17 a bottle)
