Galpin Peak Pinot Noir 2023

Bouchard Finlayson, teknisk ark/fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2023 Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak Pinot Noir – område: Hemel-en-Aarde Valley; 100% Pinot Noir; alkohol 13.4%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinifikation: The vineyard soils of Bouchard Finlayson are hugely diverse in both origin and age. Pinot Noir plantings are focussed on ancient, stony and clay-rich Bokkeveld shales, which naturally induce low vigour. Combining a high density planting practice with these shallow soils, result in wines with a dense core and muscular personality. Blended after 11months maturation in French oak, 29% of which were new. Bottled following 4 months elevage, in June 2024. Producentens noter (engelsk): Smagsnote: Vivid red cherry and raspberry fruit join hints of dried oreganum and cardamom in a deft, lightly oaked frame. A balanced savoury weight and textured rooibos tannin assure the development of further complexity. Lithe yet powerfully build. The smooth, creamy centre is tightly wrapped by saline acidity, driving an energetic and pure lifted finish. Best from 2027 until at least 2031.
