About this Item
Based in the Walker Bay region of South Africa, Crystallum is run by brothers Peter-Allan and Andrew Finlayson, 3rd-generation winemakers who focus on Burgundy varieties. Within only a little over 15 years (interestingly the first vintage was a singular Sauvignon in 2007!) this outfit has positioned itself as one of the top proponents of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in South Africa. Awards locally and internationally are in fact unrivalled, and the wines are sold out every year on release.
Using the Latin phrase for ‘in good trust’, this wine refers to the relationship between the wine makers and the owners of the vineyards, the Lötter family.
Winemakers personal tasting note:
'The 2015 returns to the richer, riper identity of the 2012/13 vintages and delivers a core of ripe, red fruit while remaining fine and fresh. This wine will reward those with patience and space to forget about a few bottles for 8-10 years.' 3036 Bottles produced' - Peter-Allan Finlayson
