Paul Cluver Riesling 2024 vs Phantom River Sauvignon Blanc Box White Wine 2.25L

Paul Cluver Riesling 2024

Paul Cluver Riesling shows a pale green hue with expressive aromas of citrus blossom and fresh orchard fruit. The palate is delicate yet zesty, with lime notes and a textured mid-palate. A balance of natural residual sugar and vibrant acidity gives the wine a characteristic Riesling tension, complemented by a mineral core from shale-rich soils. Vineyard & Terroir Sourced from Elgin’s cool-climate vineyards planted on shale-rich soils, lending mineral complexity and structure. Winemaking Grapes are carefully sorted at both vine and cellar. Juice is fermented using selected yeasts, with 22% fermented in large 2500L oval oak vats. Partial fermentation stoppage retains natural off-dry fruitiness. The remainder is fermented dry on fine lees to enhance complexity before blending and bottling. Tasting Notes Citrus blossom, lime, zesty, delicate, mineral-driven, off-dry, elegant. Grape Variety Riesling Food Pairing Spicy Asian cuisine, shellfish, sushi, light salads, or soft cheeses.
