Paul Cluver Estate Chardonnay 2020

Delicate, earthy aromas emerge from the glass intertwined with brioche, mushroom and kernel. On the first sip, this is immediately a “wow” wine. Rich, creamy, but lean at the same time as ripe acidity elevates and sustains an appetizing structural balance. Subtle oak integration that lends a sweet spice to orchard fruit flavours, and an electric edge that radiates through to the persistent finish. 94 points

Region: Elgin, South Africa.
