The colour of the 2008 Paul Cluver Riesling shows a beautiful green apple tint. The nose is quite expressive with flavours ranging from Granny Smith apple to lime, citrus peel and lovely floral tones. The palate is perfectly balanced with great play between the naturally retained residual sugar and the acidity. The wine has a great textured mid palate with loads of fruit and a mineral core giving the wine structure and a lingering aftertaste.
What a versatile wine! This is the closest you'll get to a Germanic style, with high acid and floral fruit. Try it with a curry or anything spicy - and don't forget the sushi!! And to try something different, don't be afraid to try this with red meat, esp. kudu carpaccio and beef tartare. But the usual white meat will also be sufficient.
