Hannibal 2021

Bouchard Finlayson, teknisk ark/fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2021 Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal – område: Hemel-en-Aarde Valley; 41% Sangiovese, 26% Nebbiolo, 14% Syrah, 11% Pinot Noir, 5% Barbera, 3% Mourvèdre; alkohol 13.3%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinifikation: Sangiovese has firmly established itself as the basis of this enigmatic wine. The fruit profile and elegant tannin composition, offered by the vines grown in our cooler climate, drive the style of the blend. Critically, the high productivity of our Sangiovese vineyards needs to be addressed, in order to achieve even and optimal ripeness. This is done by bunch thinning during the early stages of bunch development. The final blend was assembled after a maturation period of 12months in French oak, 20% of which was new. Bottled in July 2022 following a light filtration. Producentens noter (engelsk): Smagsnote: An intriguing potpourri of fresh red cherry and strawberry complexities flow from the glass. Whispers of cedar wood, charcuterie and tobacco penetrate a clear and precise palate, while a delicate brick-dust grip demonstrates an inner power. Lithe and poise direct this intelligent wine, with much to reveal over the next decade. Drink now through 2035.
