Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale Chardonnay 2004

This is an intensely focussed 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 flavours. 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!

AWARDS
Santa Classic Trophy 2005 - Gold Medal White Wine
about the harvest: While the village of Hermanus and the surrounding waters of Walker Bay are famous for the visiting Southern Right whales, I believe it is simply a matter of time before Walker Bay becomes equally famous for its superb Chardonnays!

The Missionvale Chardonnay has long been a wine of intense pride. With this 2004 vintage these sentiments are even stronger. It was a fine vintage, with good early dry conditions. Harvesting took place in mid February. Rich fruit arrived which offered a rare lean quality.
