The Seven Flags Chardonnay is a shining, golden wine with a clean nose of citrus fruits, green apple skin and fresh pear. It is an excellent expression of the Elgin terroir, which is located 40 km outside of Cape Town on the other side of the Hottentots-Holland Mountains to the world-renowned Stellenbosch region. Since its foundation in 1986, the family-run Paul Cluver Winery remains the benchmark producer of wine from the Elgin region. While the team is guided by husband and wife duo Paul and Songvei, a second generation of Cluvers is now firmly involved. Four of the five Cluver siblings are directly involved in the business. The region of Elgin was originally famous for its orchards, and that comes across on the palate of this wine. It is buttery yet crunchy and features delicious flavours of lemon, green apple, tropical fruits and brioche. The Elgin basin lies just 12 km from the ocean, so you can also find a refreshing tinge of salinity in every sip. The body of the wine is acidic and juicy with a smidgen of sweetness, but the tail is long and dry. Consider pairing this Chardonnay with shellfish and lemon, or a meaty white fish.
