Crystallum Cuvée Cinéma Pinot Noir 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Hemel-en-Aarde
R610
‘Grapes from Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, 60% whole-bunch fermentation. Enticing aromatics of red and black cherry, rose, fynbos and a little earthiness. The palate is delicate and precise – striking fruit purity, bright acidity and powdery tannins. A wine of remarkable definition and drive.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100
'A wine that is once again all about balance, tension and focus. Wild strawberries and sour cherries lead the nose alongside the signature Indian spices, while liquorice and white truffle add a touch more earthiness to the palate. The tannins have a fresh, pomegranate-skin texture while a fresh line of acidity augurs well for ageing.' – Winemaker
