CHRYSTALLUM PINOT NOIR PETER MAX 2015

The 2015 Peter Max Pinot Noir is crafted from fruit sourced from four vineyards, three in the Hemel en Aarde area of Walker Bay and a new vineyard on a high altitude, inland site. The vineyards form the perfect building blocks to reflect the 2015 vintage.
Fruit was hand picked and delivered to the cellar in small crates. Approximately 70% of the grapes were de-stemmed and added to the remainder, which were left as whole clusters. The temperature of the must was then lowered for a few days, after which the tank was allowed to warm up for fermentation to begin. This fermentation regime keeps extraction to a minimum, while allowing for a slow, extended maceration period of four weeks. No commerical yeasts were used for fermentation. The wine remained in 228 litre, lightly toasted French oak barrels for 10 months, 15% of which was new. The wine was bottled after a light filtration.
