Art of suggestion | Paul Cluver Estate Pinot Noir

Diane takes us through the beautiful subject of Pinot Noir, and a fantastic example from Paul Cluver. Here are some top tips and talking points for suggesting Paul Cluver to your Guests and Customers.

We also spoke to the winemaker, Andries Burger, and he gave us their tasting notes for this elegant Pinot Noir from the Elgin valley of South Africa. Andries believes that the essence of great Pinot Noir is the purity of fruit and balanced acidity, which gives structure to the wine. This wine embodies this essence, substantiated by its natural acidity. Well defined with amazing poise, the colour is bright red, alluring and luminous. The aroma has wonderful elegant red and dark berry fruit expression, ending with lovely soft oak notes. The palate is a combination of firm concentration and freshness, with some enticing savoury notes, and amazing length and complexity with great freshness lifting the fruit.
