Crystallum Wines

Crystallum is a boutique wine producer located in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, near Hermanus in the Western Cape of South Africa. The winery was founded in 2007 by brothers Andrew and Peter-Allan Finlayson, who come from a long line of winemakers in South Africa. The name "Crystallum" was inspired by the quartz crystals that are found in the shale soils of the region.

The Finlayson brothers focus on producing terroir-driven wines that showcase the unique characteristics of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. They work with a range of grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Grenache, and their winemaking philosophy is centered around minimal intervention and letting the vineyard express itself.

The Crystallum portfolio includes a range of wines, each with their own distinct character and style. Their Chardonnays are known for their freshness, purity, and minerality, while their Pinot Noirs are elegant and refined, with delicate fruit flavors and a silky texture. The Syrahs and Grenaches are rich and complex, with intense flavors of black fruit, spice, and pepper.

Crystallum has received numerous awards and accolades for their wines, both locally and internationally, and their wines are highly sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world.
