Situated in South Africas Walker Bay, Bouchard Finlayson finds itself in one of the coolest wine-growing areas of the Cape, where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir prevail. A broad range of aromatic varietals complement and bolster the Bouchard Finlayson portfolio, indeed Hannibal is one of South Africas most unique (and awarded) red blends. Recognising his contribution to the South African winemaking industry, Peter Finlayson was named Winemaking Legend in Tim Atkin MWs 2020 South Africa report. The Crocodiles Lair vineyard is located 700m above sea level, ripens a month later than others and benefits enormously from cool autumn temperatures. Stunning initial aromas of spice intertwined effortlessly with citrus blossom and zest. Perfectly balanced textural richness is delivered with integrated oak support. The palate is refreshed by a persistent oyster-shell coated finish.
