Production Details The Paul Cluver Sauvignon blanc has always been recognized for its elegance, balance, and an expression of terroir and the 2022 is evidence to that. Our role in the cellar is to highlight the typicity of our Estate but also the vintage. Pressing is always gentle and careful attention is dedicated to handling our Sauvignon blanc to ensure we produce only the best quality Sauvignon blanc. To ensure a more complex wine with a richer mid palate we blended 10 % Semillon with the Sauvignon blanc. 50% of the Semillon was fermented and aged in 2500 l Foudre's.
