Very good Pinot true to style
Good bright berry colour, nice nose and palate of berries and good balance of acidity length and aftertaste
Not as good as Reserve offering but excellent value for money
Really enjoying SAF wines during COVID-19 — 5 years ago

16.5/20 Аромат малины, вишни, хлебной корочки и легким оттенком кофе. Легкое тело, высокая кислотность довольно интенсивные, но гладкие по текстуре танины. Ягодно-кофейное во вкусе. Приятное и легкое, но не легкомысленное вино. #capewine2018 — 7 years ago

17+/20 (92+/100) Аромат вишни, клубники, яблока, кожи и заметным «дубовым» тоном. Довольно тельное и кислотное. Серьезный пино нуар с потенциалом к выдержке. #capewine2018 — 7 years ago

This wine is now starting to hit its stride and show some nice secondary flavours. Beautiful texture and very refined. Very Burgundian in style. Think Vosne. Love it. — 6 years ago

Cannot day enough good things about this well balanced South African Chardonnay. One of my new faves. Definitely some ML and warm fruit which gives it a full soft body but nice balance of acid for a crisp apple finish. — 7 years ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Узнаваемый, свежий совиньон: крыжовник, белая смородина, лимоны. Довольно высокая кислотность, кремовая текстура (есть добавка семильона 8%). Неплохо. #capewine2018 — 7 years ago

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.

17+/20 (92+/100) Аромат чернослива, черешни, шоколада и легкой нотой кожи. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и молодыми, но не грубыми танинами. Отлично! #capewine2018 — 7 years ago

Not a white drinker but this one was excellent. We cooked risotto with it and then drank it with dinner... crisp but not overpowering. — 9 years ago
