Tasting notes
Crystallum The Agnes Chardonnay 2023
'Inviting aromatics of vanilla, spice, nutmeg and cardamon with candied lemon rind and notes of peach, pears and dried fynbos. Wonderful fruit density and mid-palate weight, without lacking restraint. The oaking is perfectly judged and already well integrated, giving way to nutmeg, spice and a medium-to-full body weight. The finish is delicate, chalky and long with nuances of white florals and oak spice coming through on the end. A superb everyday Chardonnay but, with its track record, can easily go the distance.' – Lauren Segers, February 2024
Crystallum Peter Max Pinot Noir 2023
'Bright red cherry and strawberry laced with potpourri and cardamom tea spice, the aromatics of this wine alone are enticing. Poised cool fruit and clever oaking make this Pinot super charming, with notes of nutmeg, burnt orange and hints of toffee apple coming through. The palate is pure and persistent, showing that it will reward the patient with time in the cellar, yet it’s still attractive and accessible now.' – Lauren Segers, February 2024
