About this Item

2016 Andries Burger - Paul Clüver Family Wines - Seven Flags Pinot Noir
3 (1 x 3)

3 x 1.5 litre bottles of Seven Flags Pinot Noir 2016

Seven Flags is the designation for our top-of-the-range wines from our Elgin property Paul Cluver Estate. The Pinot Noir 2016 is made entirely from selected Burgundian clones. Fermentation began spontaneously before inoculation with selected Burgundian yeast. Maturation for 11 months in 20% new French oak.

Andries believes that the essence of a great Pinot noir is the purity of fruit and balanced acidity which gives structure to the wine. This wine has this essence, substantiated by its natural acidity.

This is a very well-defined wine with amazing poise, the colour is alluring and luminous. The aroma has a wonderful, elegant red and dark fruit expression, ending with lovely floral notes. All these flavours follow through on the palate with some savoury notes as well. The palate has amazing length and complexity, with great freshness lifting the fruit.
