Paul Cluver

Paul Cluver Wines is a family owned and family run winery, focused on producing wines that reflect the uniqueness of the cool-climate Elgin terroir.  The family is proud to have pioneered the Elgin appellation and for being seen as a leader in the sustainable farming. The property is approximately 70km south-east of Cape Town and has been in ownership of the Cluver Family since 1896.

The wine business forms part of larger holistic farming business called ‘De Rust Estate’. In addition to the vineyards and cellar, there are apple and pear orchards, a Hereford stud and eco-tourism activities, including amphitheatre concerts, on the farm. There is also a restaurant located on the estate serving beautiful food, simply prepared meals made with ingredients that are seasonal, sustainable and as far as possible, locally sourced. This estate forms part of the UNESCO world heritage site, the Kogelberg Biosphere. Half of the estate has been set aside for conservation into perpetuity.
