It's a bit wild, savory, and 'silky-crunchy'. If you like Russian River Pinot Noirs, we dare you to try this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crystallum — a small, highly regarded South African winery founded by brothers Peter-Allan and Andrew Finlayson, known for expressive Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from cool-climate coastal vineyards. The estate has become one of the leading names in modern South African fine wine, with a style that leans toward purity, site expression, and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion \/ Appellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Western Cape, South Africa. The fruit for Peter Max comes from several vineyards in and around the Hemel-en-Aarde area, along with a high-altitude inland site, bringing together maritime freshness and inland structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry red wine; 14% ABV. The wine is made with a portion of whole clusters and aged in French oak, meaning bright acidity meets spiced tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It’s Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peter Max has become one of Crystallum’s calling cards — a wine that shows just how exciting Pinot Noir can be in the Cape. It brings together multiple carefully chosen vineyard sources, giving the wine both brightness and depth, while the wild herbal and savory notes make it feel distinctly South African rather than borrowed from somewhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is also the kind of bottle that overdelivers at a table full of small plates — olives, popcorn, anything with salmon, roast vegetables, and grilled meats.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto's Wine Bar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42970533167209,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/2039\/3577\/files\/31.png?v=1773093815","url":"https:\/\/plutoswinebar.com\/products\/crystallum-peter-max-pinot-noir","provider":"Pluto's Wine Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
