The 2024 Paul Clüver Clüver Prieur Colline du Matin Chardonnay is a bright, finely made South African Chardonnay from the cool-climate Elgin region.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Chardonnay typically shows a pale straw to golden hue with a clean, vibrant sheen. The nose is likely to be expressive and refined, with notes of citrus, green apple, white peach and subtle floral tones, supported by gentle hints of oak, spice or crushed nuts if used in the winemaking. On the palate, expect a crisp, focused wine with balanced acidity, ripe orchard fruit and a creamy but restrained texture. The cool Elgin climate usually lends precision and freshness, giving the wine good tension and a long, mineral-tinged finish. It should drink beautifully on release, while still having the structure to age gracefully for a few years.

Production
Paul Clüver is based in Elgin, one of South Africa’s coolest and most distinctive wine-growing regions, where elevated vineyards and maritime influence help preserve acidity and aromatic detail. Chardonnay from this area benefits from slow ripening and careful harvesting, allowing the grapes to retain freshness and purity. Vinification is typically aimed at protecting fruit expression and creating a balanced, elegant style.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay works well with grilled chicken, seared salmon, roast turkey, creamy pasta dishes and shellfish such as lobster or prawns. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting only if you want to open up the wine’s aromatics—though it is generally best enjoyed straight from the bottle.

Producer
Paul Clüver Wines is a pioneering family estate in Elgin and has played an important role in establishing the region as one of South Africa’s premier cool-climate wine areas. The producer is well regarded for its meticulous vineyard work and consistently elegant wines, with a strong reputation for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Over the years, Paul Clüver has earned recognition for quality, sustainability and a clear sense of place.
