Product Description:
An elegant, dark-fruited Pinot Noir that impresses on the palate with freshness, density, and juiciness. Orange peel, plum, and hints of sage and licorice characterize the spicy aroma. Impressive, polished, intense, and with firm tannins that allow for further aging of 5 – 10 years. Probably the most elegant Pinot Noir in the Crystallum range.

Vinifikation
Mabalel is named after a poem by the legendary South African polymath Eugene Marais, which tells the story of the eponymous daughter of a local chief, who was attacked by the crocodile Lalele while fetching water from the Limpopo River. The vineyard was established on the farm "Kaaimansgat" – the Crocodile Farm – and a river flows past the vineyards. The site is 700 m high and surrounded by dramatic mountains, whose peaks are often snow-capped in winter. Fermented only with natural yeasts and with 40% whole bunch fermentation. Total time in tank was 29 days with a 14-day post-fermentation maceration. The wine was then transferred to barrels (20% new) where it matured for 11 months.
