2022 Crystallum, `Peter Max` Pinot Noir
£29.00
“Peter Max is Crystallum’s entry-point Pinot Noir, as it were, combining components from the Overberg with 15% each from Elandskloof and the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Fermented with 10% whole clusters, it’s an engagingly commercial style with white pepper and rose petal top notes and flavours of red cherry, plum and wild strawberry.”

Product Description
Crystallum is a small Hemel-en-Aarde winery, established in 2007 by brothers Peter-Allan and Andrew Finlayson. Their father Peter was a pioneer in the production of cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at Bouchard Finlayson, so after university, it seemed only natural for the brothers to return home and source fruit from the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley to create their own label.
Peter and Max are the first names of the growers who supplied the fruit for the first vintage of this wine. Fruit for the Peter Max Pinot Noir is now sourced from several vineyards, located in the coastal area of Hemel-en-Aarde as well as a new high altitude, inland site. The different sites experience altitude and cooling sea breezes, which slow down the grape ripening process, resulting in grapes with excellent concentration of flavour and balanced, fresh acidity.
