The wine has an excellent colour with lots of<br />
wild berry fruit on the nose complemented<br />
with hints of chocolate, violet and coffee<br />
aromas. The complex palate is brimming<br />
with sweet berry flavours that are long and<br />
lingering. The finish is typical of the varietal<br />
with a long velvety finish. This wine can be<br />
enjoyed young but will gain complexity if<br />

A sensorial delight, the 2008 vintage combines<br />
aromatics and elegance – the hallmarks of<br />
Paul Cluver Wines. The bright, golden hue<br />
immediately prompts an expectation of<br />
lusciousness that is satisfied both on the<br />
nose and the palate. The interplay between<br />
aspects of apricot freshness and concentrated<br />
honeyed sweetness is highly appealing. The<br />
complexity is enhanced by hints of cinnamon,<br />
lanolin, mango and raisins. The clean finish is<br />
pleasantly refreshing, making it very easy to<br />
have some more!<br />
