Critics Ratings

'The densest and most deeply coloured of Crystallum's Pinots, this is what Peter-Allan Finlayson refers to as "the big daddy". With high density planting, 30% whole bunches and super texture, this is a subtly oaked, balanced wine showing the guts and dark fruit of a Pommard.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 94/100

'Blousy, youthful fruit perfume with herbal notes and forest floor complexity. Firm structure and elegance retained on the palate, having aged with grace and still showing more potential. Balanced and accessible now, with primary fruit still intact, but will also reward further cellaring.' - Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2022)

'Jaw-dropping perfumed grace on the 2014 from single Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge parcel. Displays a fine combination of richness and delicacy. Pure fruit and silky texture give early charm; structure bodes well for future enjoyment. Natural ferment, as all.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
