Paul Clüver Wines The Wagon Trail Chardonnay 2023
100% Chardonnay
Wine of Origin Elgin
The vineyard from which this wine is made was planted in 1987, marking the first commercial Chardonnay planting in the Elgin region. It holds the distinction of being the first Elgin vineyard to carry Certified Heritage Status from the Old Vine Project. Wagon Trail is crafted by Andries Burger, Elgin’s longest-serving winemaker, who has been involved with the making of Paul Clüver wine since 1997. This wine is exclusively made from whole bunch pressed Chardonnay grapes and undergoes spontaneous fermentation.
Tasting Notes: The aroma of wildflowers and citrus, while the palate has great structure of balance and poise. This allows for the expression of classic Chardonnay flavours of green almond, citrus and white flowers.
Ready for drinking now until 2034.
Winemaker: Andries Burger
