Description
Red Wine: 2016 | Paul Cluver | Seven Flags Pinot Noir
The 2016 Seven Flags Pinot noir has a bright ruby colour, the nose is very expressive with lots of red berry notes. The taste of the wine carries on from the nose, red fruit with hints of savoury notes, minerality and great complexity. The wine is more very generous, the purity of the fruit is exceptional with great structure and length. Andries believes that the essence of a great Pinot noir is the purity of fruit and balanced acidity which gives structure to the wine.

Producer Information
The Cluver family bought the De Rust farm in 1896 to provide summer grazing for their livestock. In the mid 1900s it became a renowned apple-producing area and was subsequently identified as an ideal cool climate wine region. This in turn led to the establishment of the Paul Cluver wine estate, the first winery in Elgin, founded in 1986. Recognised as pioneers of wine in the area, the focus is on producing elegant wines that are expressive of the terroir.The wine business forms part of a 2000+ hectare holistic farming business called ‘De Rust Estate’, which includes the vineyards and cellar, apple and pear orchards, a Hereford stud and eco-tourism activities, including amphitheatre concerts on the farm. Forming part of the UNESCO world heritage site, the Kogelberg Biosphere, half of the estate has been set aside for conservation into perpetuity.
