Blanc de Mer 2021

Bouchard Finlayson, teknisk ark/fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2021 Bouchard Finlayson Blanc de Mer – område: Cape South Coast; 54% Riesling, 22% Viognier, 19% Chardonnay, 5% Sauvignon Blanc; alkohol 12.8%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinifikation: While estate-grown Riesling forms the basis of this unique blend, Viognier from various grower vineyards have contributed over the years – from the Overberg, Stellenbosch and even Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. A mature vineyard in Elgin, with a significant granitic soil component, is currently delivering consistent results. Before pressing, all grapes are destemmed and fermented in a cool environment without oak. Sauvignon Blanc makes a return to the blend, mostly for aromatic diversity and palate refreshment. Producentens noter (engelsk): Smagsnote: Typical youthful floral aromas precede a tight, vertically focussed palate. Flinty and mouth-watering acidity slices through delicious bright pineapple and nectar flavours, enlivening the senses. It will take time for the characteristic wet stone and kerosene details of Riesling to develop in the bottle.
