Elgin in a Glass: Paul Clüver's Cool-Climate Story Earns Tim Atkin Recognition
At Paul Clüver Family Wines, our focus has always been on expressing the unique character of Elgin through cool-climate Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling.
The latest Tim Atkin MW ratings reflect that journey, with nine w**es scoring 90 points or above, led by the 95-point Clüver Prieur Colline du Matin Chardonnay 2025.
In a vintage Tim Atkin MW describes as one of the finest of his lifetime, these w**es showcase the elegance, freshness and sense of place for which Elgin has become internationally recognised.
These results reflect far more than the w**es themselves; they recognise the dedication of our vineyard and cellar teams, the character of our Elgin terroir, and a family commitment to producing w**es that genuinely reflect where they come from.
