Galpin Peak Pinot Noir 2022

Bouchard Finlayson, teknisk ark/fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2022 Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak Pinot Noir – område: Hemel-en-Aarde Valley; 100% Pinot Noir; alkohol 13.6%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinifikation: A 9th estate vineyard was the first newcomer in almost a decade, adding a touch of youthful vibrance. Indigenous yeast populations, accompanying the grapes from the vineyards, now account for 34% of primary fermentation. Sharp focus is placed on the separation of pressing fractions, which are matured apart and mostly not included in the final cuvee. Blended after 11months maturation in French oak, 28% of which were new. Bottled following 4 months elevage, in May 2023. Producentens noter (engelsk): Smagsnote: An open and expressive vintage, the wine delivers arresting fragrances of floral and exotic spice aromas. The opulent and rich core underlay vibrant dried cranberry, black cherry and a burst of plum flavours. Umami detail reappear throughout. Well structured, but smooth as silk, displaying freshness and energy for an excellent balance. Best from release until 2027.
