With the Tête de Cuvée Pinot Noir, Bouchard Finlayson presents the pinnacle of its Pinot Noir production. This exclusive bottling is produced only in years when the climatic conditions in the renowned Hemel-en-Aarde Valley provide ideal conditions for the perfect ripening of this demanding grape variety. Consequently, this wine is produced only rarely. It represents a careful selection of the estate’s finest Pinot Noir barrels and is considered the winery’s most promising wine.

The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley on South Africa’s Walker Bay is one of the world’s premier regions for Pinot Noir. The interplay of a cool maritime climate and diverse soil types lends the wines remarkable elegance, depth, and finesse. Pinot Noir, in particular, impressively demonstrates its ability to precisely reflect its origin and terroir here.

For the Tête de Cuvée, the winery team selects only the very best lots. After vinification, the wine is aged in carefully selected French oak barrels, some of which are new. The limited number of barrels used underscores the exclusive character of this wine. The Pinot Noir is then given ample time to age so that it can fully develop its complexity and great aging potential.

In the glass, the Bouchard Finlayson Tête de Cuvée Pinot Noir displays impressive depth and precision. On the nose, intense aromas of pomegranate, red cherries, and ripe plums blend with floral hints and subtle spice notes. On the palate, this red wine is elegant and multi-layered. The silky, superbly integrated tannins lend it structure and length, while its freshness and focus ensure exceptional balance. Power and finesse are in perfect harmony here, making this Pinot Noir a wine with great aging potential.

This exceptional Pinot Noir is the ideal companion for festive occasions and special moments. It pairs superbly with shellfish or lobster risotto, roasted duck breast with crispy skin, and classic turkey with cranberry sauce. It also reveals its full class when paired with veal dishes or delicate mushroom dishes. Its optimal serving temperature is 16 to 18 °C.

The Bouchard Finlayson Tête de Cuvée Pinot Noir is an impressive ambassador for the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and ranks among South Africa’s outstanding Pinot Noir wines. Its elegance, depth, and rarity make it a special treat for lovers of great Burgundy-style wines and sophisticated Pinot Noirs.

Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal
Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal
Vielschichtige, intensiv fruchtige Noten von getrockneten Kirschen, dunklen Pflaumen und Datteln prägen das Bouquet des Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal 2020. Der faszinierend komplexe Duftstrauß bietet darüber hinaus Noten von Tabak und grünen Oliven, dazu Nuancen von Trüffel und Menthol.In John Platter’s Wine Guide erhält dieser Rotwein aus Südafrika 93 Punkte. Kritikerin Cathy Marston erkennt Kirschfrucht, Leder, Wild und Würze.Auch am Gaumen hinterlässt dieser ungewöhnliche Blend aus 41% Sangiovese, 26% Nebbiolo, 5% Barbera, 14% Shiraz, 11% Pinot Noir, 3% Mourvedre Eindruck. Der trockene Rotwein aus dem Hemel-en-Aarde-Tal, unweit der Walker Bay im Südatlantik, hat einen mittleren Körper und zugleich eine wunderbar anregende Säure. Die geschmeidigen Tannine sind gekonnt eingebunden. Das Finale wird von einer schönen Würze getragen und klingt noch lange nach. Noch bis 2032 ist der Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal ein Hochgenuss.Die einzelnen, akribisch gelesenen Rebsorten wurden separat in französischen Eichenfässern ausgebaut, in denen sie fast ein Jahr lang heranreiften. Dabei kamen zu fast einem Viertel neue Fässer zum Einsatz. Nach zahlreichen Tastings kreierte Bouchard Finlayson dann einen finalen Blend, der noch einige Monate nachreifte, bevor er in Flaschen abgefüllt wurde.Die Namensgebung leitet sich etwas speziell her: Da in diesem südafrikanischen Rotwein prägende Rebsorten des Weinbaus in Italien und Frankreich assembliert werden, soll der Name Hannibal an den karthagischen Feldherrn erinnern. Er überquerte in einem legendären Feldzug mit einer größeren Zahl an Elefanten im dritten Jahrhundert vor Christus die Alpen von Frankreich nach Italien, um einem römischen Angriff zuvorzukommen (Zweiter Punischer Krieg).Der Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal 2020 ist eine herausragende Komposition des südafrikanischen Weinbaus. Der rubinrote Wein zeichnet sich auch dadurch aus, dass er ein vielseitig einsetzbarer Essensbegleiter ist. Entdecken Sie ihn zum Beispiel zur indischen Küche oder zu Ziegenkäse auf Brioche-Toast. Wer etwas Außergewöhnliches probieren möchte: Auch zu Fisch Vindaye, typisch für die Küche in Mauritius, ist der Rotwein aus der Provinz Westkap ein idealer Begleiter. Aber auch die klassische, würzige italienische Küche bietet sich an.
