Blanc de Mer 2024

Bouchard Finlayson, teknisk ark/fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2024 Bouchard Finlayson Blanc de Mer – område: Cape Coast; 67% Riesling, 19% Viognier, 14% Chardonnay; alkohol 13.1%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinifikation: While estate-grown Riesling forms the majority of this unique blend, Viognier from a well-established vineyard in Paarl made another appearance. The fruit arrived ripe and healthy - beautifully complementing the steely acidity of our own grapes. All bunches were fully destemmed before pressing and were allowed a cool fermentation in stainless steel. A portion of whole-bunch pressed Chardonnay, also seeing no oak, completed the blend. The wine was bottled in June 2024. Producentens noter (engelsk): Smagsnote: Lifted and perfumed in style. Striking rosewater, tangerine and orange blossom flow from the glass. The complex and layered palate reveal fresh-cut apple, dried apricot and pickled ginger, flanked by subtle sea salt. Supple, yet refreshing with a wellbalanced finish. Expect the wine to build a textural element, as the Riesling component finds its voice
