Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 92 Points (2021)

The 2021 Chardonnay The Agnes from Crystallum is tight and minerally on the nose, sharp and stony to the point where it can easily deceive you into thinking it comes from far cooler climes. The palate is fresh and tensile, almost steely, slightly malic in style with a penetrating finish that enlivens the senses. Peter-Allan Finlayson has crafted a wonderful wine; this is a minimalist take on a ubiquitous grape variety that is irresistible.

Tim Atkin (TA) : 93 Points (2019)

Now made from five vineyards across the Western Cape including, for the first time, one in high-altitude Ceres, Peter-Allan Finlayson's Chardonnay is a lightly wooded delight with savoury wild yeast undertones, citrus, pear and wet stone flavours and a taut, refreshing finish.

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 90 Points (2018)

Brothers Andrew and Peter-Allan Finlayson are third-generation winemakers, choosing the family business over their backgrounds in architecture (Andrew) and economics (Peter-Allan). They established Crystallum in 2007, producing this chardonnay from their five estate vineyards in Hemel-en-Aarde. This wine is fermented in small French oak barrels where it ages for nine months, rounding its delicate structure. The cool-climate influence gives this an apple-skin acidity and waxy finish that would serve well with any dish deepened with the flavor of bacon.

Robert Parker (RP) : 89 Points (2014)

The 2014 The Agnes Chardonnay, a blend of different vineyards, has quite a refined, understated bouquet that is nicely defined with touches of flint and citrus lemon coming through with aeration. The palate is fresh and crisp, very tensile with a touch of bitter lemon on the entry. A little awkward at the moment, there is something almost Muscadet-like towards the finish, with a light sea-spray influence. Very fine.

Jancis Robinson (JR) : 16.5 Points (2014)

Four different vineyards, the biggest is in Overberg, but some grapes come from Lismore, and some from a vineyard outside Bot River that just escaped the sheep. Mix of barrel sizes and ages. Ambient yeast. Made like Chris Alheit because they share a cellar. Full malolactic fermentation. Cool nose and a slightly sweet palate entry. Chewy and serious but real chew.
