Product Notes

Crystallum Peter Max Pinot Noir wine is a tasteful blend hailing from South Africa's Western Cape. This pinot noir features a ruby red hue and a complex bouquet of fresh cherries, cloves, and hints of tobacco. Its captivating profile is layered with the influence of red fruits, mushroom, and subtle earthy undertones, providing a splendid balance of sweet and savoury notes. This graceful wine boasts velvety tannins and a sophisticated finish, making it the ideal complement to any fine dining experience. Its elegant complexity is the epitome of pure indulgence, promising a delightful encounter for any wine connoisseur.

Tasting Notes

A slightly more savoury and distinctly Burgundian expression featuring enhanced earthiness from cloves and tree bark. The red fruits are there in abundance, most notably wild strawberries and rhubarb, while there is a red apple skin quality to the tannins. The finish is all crushed mulberries and salted cherries, adding a moreish finish that makes the wine dangerously drinkable in spite of its ageing potential.
