Crystallum
Bona Fide Pinot Noir
Western Cape, South Africa
I did not get to write notes on the last three wines, just scores. We had to get to Russell Hamilton.
However, I wish I had been able to write them as these were the wines I was looking forward to spending some time on.
Peter & Andrew Allan of Crystallum are the third generation of winemakers and sons of the man who pioneered Pinot Noir winemaking in the Hemel-en-Aarde which; is what drew me to the region that is about another hour plus SE of Stellenbosch and a very good area to produce Pinot Noir.
Photos of; Gabrielskloof Cellar Door entrance, Estate vine, tasting lounge and their courtyard.

Beau jus avec un pinot noir gourmand sans impression de terroir particulier mais très bien fait
