Description
This “Reserve” edition of the Bouchard Finlayson Sauvignon Blanc can safely be considered to be a collector’s item. Bouchard’s geographic location, lying within 5 kilometres of the cool Atlantic Ocean, offers the most ideal temperature zone of the Cape. Added to this the heavy shale clay soil that tipifies the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley lends an inviting tropical tone to the flavour profile of this vintage. A graceful and pure wine, styled by Semillon (14% of the blend) complexity. Initial flavour is salty and extends to a tangy peach, honeysuckle and lemon peel intensity towards a refreshing fig-filled finish.
Ageing potential: Drink now and enjoy throughout 2022.
Food pairing: A perfect pairing with citrus cured white fish and burnt orange gel, or a fresh herb salad and goat’s cheese.
Alcohol: 12.91% ABV
