The 2017 Cuvée Clive is an intriguing Cap Classique of great elegance, poise and refinement. The Chardonnay portions combine seamlessly to create a bouquet of rich peach, apricot, apple and citrus aromas, with alluring hints of spice and toasted almonds form the barrels. The Pinot Noir elegantly dances through these aromas and adds layers of complexity on the palate with fresh cranberry, pomegranate and spicy undertones. The palate is elegant and fresh, while the lengthy time spent on lees has created a succulent texture which lingers long after the last sip.

The individual portions were received in our custom-designed state-of-the-art Cap Classique cellar in the early hours of the morning and gently whole-bunched pressed, with only the cuvée fraction (first 400L per ton) used for this Cap Classique. The individual Chardonnay portions underwent their primary fermentation in neutral pièce champenoise barrels, while the Pinot Noir was fermented in stainless steel tanks.

40% of the blend originated from an exceptional block of Chardonnay in Napier, close to the Cape South Coast with the remaining 20% of Chardonnay sourced from a single block on our Robertson Estate. The Pinot Noir comes from Durbanville, growing in Table Mountain sandstone. The Robertson Chardonnay was meticulously hand selected and hand-picked in the cool early hours of the morning in the third week of January, while the Pinot Noir was picked on 12 January and the Napier Chardonnay on 1 February.
