Our Wines Make Their Mark in the 2024 Tim Atkin MW Special Report

Besides the life, bloom and zest that Spring brings to the environment, this time of year also sees the results of the annual Tim Atkin Special Report on South African wine where the country’s wines are judged by the eponymous British Master of Wine. Tim Atkin’s opinions on wine are highly regarded and internationally recognised, and this year it was an honour to see two Paul Clüver wines achieve a remarkable score of 96pts.

This top rating went to Paul Clüver Seven Flags Pinot Noir 2021 and the Paul Clüver Noble Late Harvest Riesling 2021, marking them among the highest-rated wines in his 2024 Special Report on South African wine.

What’s more, these were highlighted as among his Wines of the Year in the Pinot Noir and Sweet Wines categories respectively.

Also notable is the 95-point rating for the soon-to-be-released Paul Clüver Clüver Prieur Martin Colline du Matin Chardonnay 2019, which was listed as one of Tim Atkin’s Chardonnay’s of the Year. This wine is the result of a collaboration between Paul Clüver Jnr, winemaker Andries Burger, and Martin Prieur, co-owner of Domaine Jacques Prieur in Meursault, Burgundy. The vineyard, specially planted on the Paul Clüver Estate for this wine, reflects the longstanding friendship and shared vision of Clüver, Burger, and Prieur. (The Colline du Matin Chardonnay wine will be released later this year, so do keep an eye on our digital channels as volumes are limited.)

Another standout Chardonnay from the estate, the Paul Clüver CWG Wagon Trail, achieved 93 points in the report. Overall, Paul Clüver Family Wines reinforced its status as one of the Cape’s leading producers, maintaining its Second Growth classification in Atkin’s rankings.
