Crystallum - Peter Max - Pinot Noir 2021
Crystallum Wines is located in Walker Bay , South Africa . It is a small, artisanal, limited-production winery established in 2007 by brothers Andrew and Peter-Allan Finlayson . They come from a family of pioneer winegrowers in the production of Pinot Noir in the ward of Hemel-en-Aarde , with the creation of Bouchard Finlayson in particular. Crystallum's first vintage in 2007 was made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc, but the following year Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were added to the wine portfolio. Crystallum now focuses on Burgundian varieties . Crystallum produces approximately 700 cases per year; about 60% red wine and 40% white.
Peter and Max are the first names of the winegrowers who supplied the grapes for the first vintage of this cuvée. Half of the harvest is de-stemmed and the rest is kept in whole bunches. Extraction is kept to a minimum during fermentation with a maximum maceration of 4 weeks.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
