Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak Pinot Noir is deftly balanced, rich, and dark with aromas of berries, plums and floral notes. It is expressive on the palate with clearly defined fruit flavours and a full and generous finish. Good for drinking now, but it will cellar well for some years to come.

Grown in the estate's clay-rich soils, this is a stupendous Pinot Noir that in our opinion is superior to most similarly priced Burgundies. Bouchard Finlayson's vineyards are unique in the Cape in that they copy the Burgundian model of planting Pinot Noir in very tightly spaced rows. Such close plantings encourages greater competition between vines, leading to less vigour and consequently brighter wines with more depth and colour.
