Crystallum Peter Max Pinot Noir 2024 (75cl)

A Pinot Noir from Crystallum, sourced from the cool-climate Walker Bay region of South Africa, where ocean influence keeps ripening slower than in warmer parts of the country. The 2024 vintage is young and recently released. It offers a way to try South African Pinot Noir beyond the more familiar Burgundy and New Zealand styles. Cool-climate Pinot Noir of this kind usually shows red cherry and raspberry fruit with a lighter body and softer tannins than Cabernet-based reds, and is best served slightly cool rather than at room temperature.
