This limited release of Pinot Noir is from the highly regarded 2019 vintage, which marked the 30th anniversary of the estate’s founding. In the glass, expect a bright nose giving way to a generous palate of both fruity and forest-floor flavours, developing through complex layering of cherry and dark berries. Finely polished and intensely lingering, this exceptional Pinot Noir can be enjoyed on release, but with careful cellaring will continue to improve for at least a decade after vintage.

Bouchard Finlayson

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.

Food Pairing

A wine of substance – generously structured for the long haul. Immediately expressive succulent plum, clove and nutmeg. Well defined and concentrated black olive tapenade and cranberry tart flavours, all elegantly packaged around an ever present kelp-like tannin. Velvety smooth finish.
