Crystallum Ferrum Chardonnay 2025
Hemel-en-Aarde, South Africa
Ferrum Chardonnay is made from a single vineyard on Crystallum’s own land at Shaw’s Mountain, just outside the Hemel-en-Aarde region near Hermanus.
A beguiling expression of this single vineyard that shows the complexity this site can offer. Greengage, quince and blackcurrant leaf lead on the nose as well as lemongrass and jasmine. The palate is edgy and bright, with citrus, white pear and aniseed against a puckering wet stone texture that elongates the finish. Deft oaking rounds the edges beautifully.
Alc: 13.9%

Winery Profile
Crystallum is a family-run and privately-owned winery based in the Walker Bay region of South Africa.
Brothers Andrew and Peter-Allan are the third generation of Finlayson winemakers and sons of the man who pioneered Pinot Noir winemaking in the Hemel-en-Aarde region. Andrew is an architect by training and Peter-Allan a student of philosophy and economics, but it didn’t take long for the lure of wine to take effect, with Andrew drawn to the vineyards and Peter-Allan to the cellar.
The company was founded in 2007 when it produced just over four thousand bottles of Sauvignon Blanc. The following vintage saw the introduction of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and Crystallum now produces these Burgundian varieties exclusively, making up its collection with multi-vineyard blends and single-vineyard wines.
