Bouchard Finlayson, Galpin Peak Pinot Noir, 2019

An exceptional Pinot Noir from the New World that harks back to classic Burgundian winemaking and style. The fruit is grown in tightly packed rows in the vineyards to promote competition between vines and encourage brighter, more colourful fruit that leads to wines with increased complexity and depth.

"From South Africa’s top Pinot Noir region – Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, established by Peter Finlayson, the former winemaker at Hamilton Russell. Peter set up his own vineyards right next door and has been producing one of the southern hemisphere’s most consistent Pinots ever since. The 2019 is showing some good development and secondary notes alongside rich, dark berry and floral-edged plum fruits."
