2008 Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale

Missionvale Chardonnay has long been a wine of intense pride. This is an intensely focused wine of near perfect balance. It is fresh, marginally oaked for six months with an almost white peachy crispness, mixed with a complex yeasty orchestration of flavors. It ends with a tang of richness which lasts a full minute on the palate. With time it will slowly become even more interesting as its nuttiness and complexity continues to develop.

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.
