Production Details Paul Clüver Sauvignon blanc has always been recognized for its elegance, balance between vibrant freshness and tropical complexity – all an expression of our terroir, and the 2025 is evidence to this. Our role in the cellar is to highlight the typicity of our Estate but also the vintage. Pressing of the grapes is gentle and throughout the winemaking process careful attention is paid to handling our fruit to ensure we produce only the best quality Sauvignon blanc. To add further complexity and a richer mid-palate we blended 6% Sémillon to the Sauvignon blanc. 100% of the Sémillon was fermented and aged in 2500 l Foudre’s.
