Galpin Peak

2011 Walker Bay Pinot Noir

Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak is a splendid representation of Pinot Noir from the renowned Walker Bay region. This enchanting red wine showcases a medium body, perfectly balancing elegance and depth. It reveals a bright acidity that refreshes the palate, enhancing its overall vibrancy. The fruit intensity is prominent, with seductive notes of black cherry, raspberry, and subtle hints of earthiness, which are characteristic of the varietal. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing a structured mouthfeel without overwhelming the delicate fruit. This wine is beautifully dry, allowing its complex flavors to shine through, making it an exquisite choice for those who appreciate the artistry of well-crafted Pinot Noir from South Africa.

South Africa

With its mountainous, maritime-influenced winegrowing regions, South Africa produces top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and premium Syrah, Pinotage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Dutch brought vines here back in the 1600s to satiate their thirsty sailors en route to India, but they probably never imagined just how important to the wine world South Africa would one day become. Indeed, it took centuries for South Africa to discover its full potential. Most of the country's winegrowing areas thrive in the southwest, known as the Western Cape. Its most famous regions are an easy drive from Cape Town and include Stellenbosch, Swartland, Breedekloof and Franschhoek.
