About this Item
The Cuvée Cinéma is produced entirely from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge and is the most refined and desired of the three Crystallum single vineyard Pinot Noirs. It was named after a film based on the life of Napoleon that was shot on the site a year prior to the vineyards being planted.

Critics Ratings
'This has a freshness and a brightness that reflects the altitude of the vineyards. It's still a bold, succulent, age-worthy wine, with dark fruits and a spicy, sappy, savoury core, but the acidity lifts the wine to another level.' - Tim Atkin MW 2014, 94/100"
'This Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge 12 perhaps the most refined version here; as perfumed & elegant as ever, with the sweetly dark-fruited notes brighter than Bona Fide's, the texture silk rather than velvet, the colour lighter & redder. Finely balanced, pinioned on graceful acidity.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2014, 4.5*
