2018 Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal
An Italian inspired red blend from a world-class South African estate.
Bouchard Finlayson is a world-class estate situated in Walker Bay very near the most southerly tip of Africa. The climate is influenced by the nearby cold Atlantic Ocean making it one of the coolest wine-growing areas in the Cape. The estate is committed to conservation and sustainable farming, only around 19ha is under vine in order to preserve the natural indigenous fynbos (a valuable ecosystem). The local fauna attracts insects, which in turn attracts other creatures such as birds which help the local environment.
Bouchard Finlayson's Hannibal blend was inspired by the classic flavours of Italian varieties, Sangiovese and Nebbiolo. This vintage is fresh and alive with a characteristic Italian mouthfeel with new world fruitiness. Olive and redcurrant flavours combine with cranberry to result in a lingering finish.
