Hannibal

2010 Walker Bay Barbera, Mourvedre, Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Nebbiolo

The Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal is an exquisite red blend that showcases the remarkable assemblage of Barbera, Mourvedre, Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Nebbiolo, resulting in a wine that is truly captivating. Hailing from the scenic Walker Bay region, this 2010 vintage displays a deep garnet hue that hints at its complexity. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied character balanced by bright acidity that lends a refreshing quality to the wine. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of dark cherries, plums, and hints of herbal undertones. This expression is complemented by well-integrated tannins that provide a firm structure without overpowering the wine's elegance. The Hannibal is dry, making it a versatile companion for a variety of culinary delights, showcasing its food-friendly qualities and leaving a lasting impression with each sip.

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.
