Description
Initially produced out of necessity after a section of Andries’ Riesling vineyard became affected by botrytis; Paul Cluver Noble Late Harvest Riesling has become a sensationally successful, multi-award winning dessert wine made from 100% Riesling. The 2021 vintage is an explosion of dried fruit flavours and hints of frangipani notes on the nose. The palate is exciting and vibrant, dried apricots and dried pineapple flavours are very expressive and there is great play between the sweetness and racy acidity on the palate. This is a hallmark of a great sweet wine as it does not leave a sweet and cloying sensation in the mouth, but rather of freshness and balance. Sadly only made in miniscule volumes and produced only in half bottles, this is a wine not to be missed.
Food pairing: Great with desserts, like apple tart and cheese platters, it is also great as a dessert on its own.
Alcohol: 10% ABV
