2022 Crystallum, `The Agnes` Chardonnay
£25.00
“Drawing components from Ceres, the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge and the Overberg, the Agnes is a refined, pan-Cape cuvée that ages well in bottle. Fermented with full malolactic, it shows white flower and vanilla spice aromas, quince and lemon zest flavours and a textured mid-palate.”
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.
‘The Agnes’ Chardonnay is produced from several different vineyards in the Hemel-en-Aarde and Overberg regions. The soils of these vineyards range from heavy clay to shale, sandstone and quartz. The final blend retains the characteristics of these individual sites, combining them to produce a wine which is both unique and greater than the sum of its parts.
