About this Item

Bouchard Finlayson
2005 Galpin Peak Tête de Cuvée Pinot Noir
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

The heavy clay soils of the lower Hemel-en-Aarde Valley are said to be the reason for this area’s ability to repeatedly offer vintages of premium quality Pinot Noir wines. Clay soils contribute through their moisture support as well as through their complex soil chemistry. Add to this Hermanus’s soft summer weather conditions, then the result is a happy combination for a particularly fussy grape.

Critics Ratings

‘Cellarmaster’s (stellar!) barrel selection in best yrs only (pvs was 03). 05, our Wine of the Year this ed, precise aromas of sour cherries & blood orange underlined by spicy oak. Immense, concentrated & penetrating flavours are powerful without excessive weight. Silky finish made complex with mineral note. Needs & deserves time in bottle to fully integrate 75% new Fr oak.’ - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2008, 5*
