Mabalel

2014 Overberg Pinot Noir

The Crystallum Mabalel is an exquisite expression of Pinot Noir from the Overberg region, showcasing a deep red hue that invites exploration. This wine embodies a full-bodied character, offering a rich and complex palate that is balanced beautifully with high acidity, lending it a refreshing brightness. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe red berries, cherries, and subtle undertones of earthiness that enhance its multifaceted profile. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a structured mouthfeel that complements the wine's vibrant flavors. As a dry wine, it maintains an elegant finish, making it a delightful companion for a variety of culinary pairings or a captivating choice to enjoy on its own.

South Africa
South Africa

With its mountainous, maritime-influenced winegrowing regions, South Africa produces top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and premium Syrah, Pinotage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Dutch brought vines here back in the 1600s to satiate their thirsty sailors en route to India, but they probably never imagined just how important to the wine world South Africa would one day become. Indeed, it took centuries for South Africa to discover its full potential. Most of the country's winegrowing areas thrive in the southwest, known as the Western Cape. Its most famous regions are an easy drive from Cape Town and include Stellenbosch, Swartland, Breedekloof and Franschhoek.
