Note di degustazione
Crystallum's biggest Pinot Noir release is this 35,794-bottle production, with fruit sourced from across the Western Cape. The 2023 Peter Max Pinot Noir stands out for the same high quality found in the rest of this excellent portfolio. This is a spot-on wine made by Andrew and Peter-Allan Finlayson. With a total of 125 barrels created, it ages in mostly third- and fourth-year 228-liter barrels for 11 months. Wild cherry and violet cede to blood orange and spice.

The 2023 Peter Max is the entry-level Pinot Noir—a blend of different parcels, mainly from Hemel-en-Aarde. Dark berry fruit commingles with kirsch and a touch of mandarin on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. It’s a little rustic and a bit short on the finish, but there is plenty of sapid fruit.
