About this Item

2009 CWG The Wagon Trail Chardonnay
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Paul Cluver estate reflects the uniqueness of the cool-climate Elgin terroir. Established in 1896, Dr Paul Cluver IV pioneered the Elgin wine region and today it is a family affair. Andries Burger is married to Paul’s daughter and has been winemaker for two decades.

Recognised amongst South Africa’s wine elite, this was Andries’ first vintage as a member of the CWG and was produced from the oldest vines on the farm at 23 years. It is one of South Africa’s best white wines.

Critics Ratings

'An absolutely beautifully crafted wine! So fine. Sensitive use of oak gives softly sifted spice over buttery baked apple notes. Fine-boned acidity and silky in the mouth, a dancer on pointed toes. Impressively persistent. Very, very classy.’  Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20
