  • William Kelley, June 2024

    From a high altitude single vineyard on the coast, this wine takes its name from the Boekkeveld clay and shale soils on which the grapes are grown. This special terroir forms the basis for a Grand Cru-contesting Chardonnay, which is both generous and layered. Rich, white stone fruits are at the forefront of this wine, with hints of grapefruit and salted hazelnuts, while there is a liveliness that carries through on the finish and keeps the wine feeling fresh.

Producer

Crystallum Wines

Only etablished in 2007, Crystallum have made great strides in a short space of time and are now one of the most highly regarded wineries in South Africa. A small boutique winery in the Hemel-en-Aarde region of Walker Bay, Crystallum are at the forefront of the ‘New Wave’ movement in South Africa. Brothers Andrew and Peter-Allan Finlayson are at the helm and the siblings have winemaking in the blood; father, Peter, is widely recognised as a pioneer in the production of cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Responsible for some of the region’s finest Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, the brotherly duo are always on the lookout for new vineyards, and, with each passing year, their wines only get better and better. In 2021, Peter-Allan’s immense skill and knowledge was recognised by being named Tim Atkin MW’s South African Winemaker of the Year.

Region

Hemel-en-Aarde

The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is a ward within the Walker Bay district of South Africa. Meaning 'Heaven on Earth', this beautiful valley has the Cape's highest proprtion of Pinot Noir. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also flourish here thanks to the cooling influence of the Atalantic to the South and the Babylon mountains to the North. Ancient glacial soils make this region a geological wonder capable of producing hugely complex wines.
