Produced only when weather conditions permit, this cuvée embodies the most precise expression of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley terroir. The 2021 vintage benefited from cool and dry conditions at the end of the growth cycle, promoting slow and complete ripening. The grapes primarily come from old vines with an average age exceeding 22 years. Only eight barrels were selected, four of which were new wood. Aged for 11 months in French oak barrels. pH 3.44, total acidity 5.6 g\/L, residual sugar 2.0 g\/L, alcohol 13%. The Bouchard Finlayson estate was founded in 1989 by Peter Finlayson, a pioneer of Pinot Noir in South Africa, near the mouth of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in Walker Bay. Managing a vineyard of about twenty hectares, he quickly became one of the country's most prominent winemakers. Since 2016, winemaker Chris Albrecht has perpetuated this style, balancing intensity, elegance, and harmony, with South Africa's finest Pinot Noirs leading the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, black cherry, strawberry, and rose, enhanced by subtle touches of cinnamon. On the palate, ample and savory, driven by a dense texture and supported by perfectly integrated oak. Regal and elegant, it builds toward a complex and long-lasting finish through to 2035. It pairs with a crispy duck breast or a fragrant seafood risotto. Aging potential of 10 years and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SWW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63964286517625,"sku":"AFS-BFI-21-TCP-75-R","price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/8797\/0696\/files\/BouchardFinlaysonTetedeCuveePinotNoir2021_1.webp?v=1785329300","url":"https:\/\/vinodelice.com\/en-eut\/products\/bouchard-finlayson-tete-de-cuvee-galpin-peak-pinot-noir-2021","provider":"Vinodelice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
