Paul Clüver’s Elgin Wines Earn Tim Atkins Recognition
At Paul Clüver Family Wines, we have always believed that great wine begins with a strong sense of place. Here in Elgin, our cool climate gives us the time and conditions to craft wines of freshness, elegance and character.
The latest Tim Atkin MW Special Report ratings offer a wonderful reflection of that approach, leading the way is the Clüver Prieur Colline du Matin Chardonnay 2025, awarded 95 points, alongside strong recognition for our Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.
As spring arrives in the valley, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the wines, the people behind them, and the place we call home.

A New Season in Elgin
As spring arrives in Elgin, the valley comes alive with longer days, fresh green vineyards and a renewed sense of possibility. Come and experience the season at Paul Clüver Family Wines – enjoy a tasting, settle in for a meal at the Pizza Garden, and take in the beauty of the estate at its most vibrant.
In Harmony With Nature
For generations, the Clüver family has understood that the future of the farm depends on caring for the land today. More than half of De Rust Estate is protected as natural conservancy, while regenerative farming practices help nurture the health of the soils and vineyards. Indigenous vegetation is actively restored and ecological corridors connect the farm with the surrounding Groenlandberg, allowing the natural environment to remain an integral part of the estate.
The more natural our environment, the truer our wines are to their place of origin.
