About this Item
Peter and Max are the first names of the growers who supplied the fruit for the first vintage of this wine. The fruit sources have since changed but the name remains to honor the beginnings of our multi-vineyard Pinot Noir blend. The philosophy here is to use the different batches to form a blend that is more than the sum of its parts.

Critics Ratings
'Cool, elegant and understated 2015, delicate floral perfume, whisper of dark chocolate and smoke with light peppery finish. Very feminine expression from Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, Overberg and Elandskloof, 10% new oak.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*
'Peter Max is a blend of grapes from four areas - the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, the Ridge, Overberg and Elandskloof - and tends to be the lightest and first released of Peter-Allan Finlayson's Pinots. Elegant, floral and delicate, it has some clove spice from 30% whole bunches, subtle oak and a core of raspberry fruit.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 92/100
