Tasting notes:
'The densest and most deeply coloured of Crystallum’s Pinots, this is what Peter-Allan Finlayson refers to as “the big daddy”. With high density planting, 30% whole bunches and super texture, this is a subtly oaked, balanced wine showing the guts and dark fruit of a Pommard. Drink: 2015-22.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 94/100
'Jaw-dropping perfumed grace on 2014 from single Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge parcel. Displays a fine combination of richness & delicacy. Pure fruit & silky texture give early charm; structure bodes well for future enjoyment. Natural ferment, as all. 2013 (5 stars, 96 pts) also graceful.' – Platter's Guide, 4.5*
About Crystallum:
Crystallum, based in Walker Bay, South Africa, is a family-run and privately-owned winery which began in 2007. Brothers Andrew and Peter-Allan are the third generation of Finlayson winemakers and sons of the man who pioneered Pinot Noir winemaking in the Hemel-en-Aarde region. They specialise in the Burgundian varieties, and follow a low intervention winemaking approach. Peter-Allan Finlayson is a leader in producing some of the finest modern-day SA Pinots. Neal Martin says of their wines, ‘These are some of South Africa's finest Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.’
