Sourced from five vineyards (mostly Hemel-en-Aarde, one higher inland), 50% whole cluster naturally fermented with minimal extraction over 4 weeks on skins. Family-run Crystallum (Finlayson brothers) crafts this entry-level Pinot from Walker Bay's cool-climate sites, blending for complexity (pH 3.50, TA 5.6 g/L, RS 2.1 g/L, TS 62 mg/L).
