Crystallum, Pinot Noir Peter Max, 2022

Crystallum has become one of the top reasons to drink wines from South Africa's coolest sites. The winery's home base, Walker Bay, is a spectacular coastal appellation from whose shore it's possible to experience the best whale-watching in the world. But the region also boasts shale and sandstone soils that produce gorgeously silky Pinot Noir with dusty tannins, classic earthiness and clear minerality. Crystallum's Peter Max Pinot Noir contains fruit from five of their prized vineyards in Hemel-en-Aarde and greater Walker Bay as well as the stony, sloping neighboring Cape Coastal region of Overberg.
