Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, off-dry
Paul Cluver's Estate Riesling from the cool, high-altitude Elgin valley shows the crisp, nervy character this appellation does so well — expect bright lime and green apple fruit underpinned by a stony, mineral thread and delicate floral lift. A touch of residual sweetness is kept firmly in check by the region's naturally high acidity, giving the wine a clean, refreshing balance. It's a lively, food-friendly style that leans toward the leaner end of the Riesling spectrum rather than anything opulent or heavily botrytised.
