Note di degustazione
The Crystallum 2024 Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge Cuvée Cinéma Pinot Noir comes from a 1.6-hectare southwest-facing parcel planted in 2009 and is fermented with 60% whole-bunch fruit. All free-run juice is used, and extended maceration builds texture and nuance. Compared with Mabalel, this wine offers greater red berry definition and a broader mouthfeel, with peppery and savory tones woven through the fruit. The cooler aspect tempers ripeness, preserving lift and aromatic detail. Clay shale soils contribute both tension and layered complexity to this pretty South African Pinot Noir.

The 2024 Cuvée Cinema comes from Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge and contains 25% whole bunch, aged for 11 months in 228 and 300-litre oak barrels. This has a gorgeous bouquet with expressive red cherry, raspberry and bergamot scents, perhaps the best defined. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, a little tart in style, but it fans out beautifully on the finish. Excellent.
