2006 Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal

This wine “painting” is two thirds Italian and one third French. It is said that the essence and soul of Italian wine is in its local or regional grape varieties. The excitement of the Hannibal blend lies in the indulgence of pitching these grape varieties together. It’s these “taste colors” which allow for Hannibal to be different and individually unique Full, ripe wild berry and meaty flavors. Long confident mouth feel with plenty of aging potential enhanced by excellent French oak barrel ageing (sixteen months) Sangiovese, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, Mourvedré and Barbera.

About This Wine:

Bouchard Finlayson Estate
Near the Southernmost point of Africa lays a valley named Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven and Earth) framed by mountains and within sight of the ocean, with frost free, soft, beneficial weather and the most perfect clay shale vineyard soils. Established in 1989, Bouchard Finlayson is a boutique winery dedicated to the making of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines of outstanding quality. Bouchard Finlayson is located in the wine ward of Walker Bay, an hour and a half from Cape Town. The 125-hectare property currently has 19 hectares under vines; the rest is mountain land covered by the spectacular indigenous Fynbos Flora of the Western Cape.
