Bouchard Finlayson Walker Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2004

Harvested ripe with gooseberry, litchi and full-bodied buttery tones, the wine was bottled early to capture as much of the fermentation elements as possible.

Fabulous as an aperitif! Best with food, especially fish dishes, crustaceans and vegetarian cuisine.

in the vineyard : This vintage showed great promise with an abundant crop which for most of the growing season developed under ideal cool conditions. The early part of the vintage was described as non-nervous, but as the grapes were gathered regular rains threatened to unsettle the winemakers composure. Fortunately this concern proved to be unfounded.

in the cellar : The choice of particular yeasts and the heavy clay terroir of the domain vineyard help repeat the unique character of this location from one year to the next. The 2004 vintage is once again gentle on the palate and projects that velvety texture of languishing fruit so typical of the Bouchard Finlayson white wine tradition.
