Elgin throws down a snowy gauntlet

The last PR release before Christmas was a “newsflash” from Paul Cluver. “Jonathan Ray of Telegraph.co.uk reflects on innovations in the wine industry in the past 10 years in his column dated 9 December 2009. Commenting on the improvement of new world countries Argentina, Chile and South Africa, he describes Paul Cluver Wines amongst others as ‘toothsome’ in contrast to the ‘ubiquitous’ Arniston Bay and Kumala.

Responding from Europe, Paul Cluver says ‘We are proud to be among the list of wineries mentioned. It is a clear indication that in England Paul Cluver Wines is regarded as one of the leading growers from South Africa.’” The weather in Europe is so bad, I almost didn’t recognize Paul in the photo below.
