Paul Cluver Noble Late Harvest Riesling 2020

Intense, mineral nose: apple, peppery ginger and candied orange peel. Carried along by brilliantly gleaming acidity.

On the nose, the 2017 Weisser Riesling Noble Late Harvest is precise with golden raisin, notes of green apples, peaches, lime and nectarine. The focus on the palate shows the precision of Riesling with laser-sharp acidity with the sweet kiss of honey, with the seductive floral flutter of honeysuckle. The finish lingers on the palate with the type of longevity typically found on the great dessert wines of Germany. This wine expresses the perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. Wow! Riesling is hard to get right in South Africa and with this bottling, Andries Burger of Paul Cluver has done it. This is bottling may very well be the most classically correct expression of Riesling from South Africa that I have tried this year. 11,760 bottles were made. For Riesling lovers, you need to give this a try!
