Hannibal

Hannibal is a hugely versatile match for a range of dishes, but it works especially well with Indian and other spicy cuisines. Pair it with a Cape Vegetable Biryani, Mauritian seafood Vindaye or simply goats milk cheese served on brioche toast.

2015 was an early vintage with an exemplary personality. The crop was rewarding with superb fruit all adding handsomely to the promise of a stunning wine!

Each variety enjoys separate barrel maturation for up to 16 months prior to extraction from barrels to enjoy final blending before bottling.

Grapes are harvested in individual parcels, depending on site and variety. Crushed and destemmed to soak and ferment for up to two weeks.

One of South Africa’s most awarded boutique wine estates lies in a scenic valley just an hour and a half from Cape Town called Hemel-en-Aarde or Heaven-and-Earth. Framed by great fold mountains and breath-taking ocean views it is one of the coolest wine-making regions in the Cape with duplex soil structures and sun-facing slopes. The promise of the unique terroir is harnessed by winemaker Chris Albrecht in slow-ripened flavour-rich wines of exceptional quality. Bouchard Finlayson is globally acclaimed for producing the best Pinot Noir in South Africa as well as exceptional Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs. The vineyards are surrounded by an indigenous floral conservancy alive with birdsong and wildflowers. Beyond the beauty of the farm itself you can discover the enchantments of the local area. Some of the popular attractions of nearby Hermanus include whale-watching; shark-cage diving; mountain hiking or biking; browsing art antiques and shops; and of course the white sandy beaches.
