Crystallum Cuvee Cinema Pinot Noir 2023

Scenes from a movie based on the life of Napoleon were shot on the Cinma site the year before vineyards were introduced, which gave this wine its name

Grape Varietals & Region:100% Pinot Noir from a premium site in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge that was meticulously designed to produce the highest quality Pinot Noir with the planting of high density vines using disease-free Dijon clones.

Taste Profile: An energetic vintage showing cherries, wild strawberry, pomegranate, orange peel and musk on the nose. The palate is led by muddled raspberry and other ripe red fruits with a woodland earthiness arriving with time in glass. Cherry pith and pink spice as well as a saline freshness mark the finish. Expressive in youth but with components in place to age.

Winemaking Process: Fermented using only native yeasts with a ratio of whole clusters (60%) to whole berries (40%) in a stainless steel tank. The total time in tank was 31 days. The wine was then transferred to barrel (25% new) where it remained for 11 months before bottling.
