Bouchard Finlayson Walker Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Name: Bouchard Finlayson Walker Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Brand: Bouchard Finlayson
SKU: 31815

Sauvignon Blanc is Bouchard Finlayson’s biggest selling single label. It is a cultivar of which the typical aroma may be described as continuing vegetative, grassy, herbaceous, gooseberry, asparagus and green pepper nuances. In most instances it is these characteristics which winemakers strive to achieve.

This 2012 edition is particularly forward in flavour backed by vibrant structure. Not acidic and not brash. Essentially the chosen wine for warm, hot summer weather. Full and firm on the palate with notable guava, pear and blueberry to citrus tones. A great ripe vintage with exemplary fruit – all from the domain.

in the vineyard : Here at Bouchard Finlayson our approach is a little different. With our high density, closer vineyard plantings we experience reduced vine canopy vigor. This allows for more sunlight penetration and consequently less vegetative and more gooseberry flavour tones.

in the cellar : Sauvignon Blanc’s juicy profile means that it is bottled and released quickly, and the wines often drink best when young.
