Critic reviews

"The 2023 The Agnes is the largest-production wine in the portfolio, a blend of all the vineyards that Crystallum works with, mainly from Hemel-en-Aarde. It has a fresh bouquet of sea spray and light green apple scents. The palate is well balanced with a slightly creamy entry that would dupe you into thinking there is more than 5-10% new oak. Open and expressive, this is a fine entry-level Chardonnay."
