Situated in South Africas Walker Bay, Bouchard Finlayson finds itself in one of the coolest wine-growing areas of the Cape, where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir prevail. A broad range of aromatic varietals complement and bolster the Bouchard Finlayson portfolio, indeed Hannibal is one of South Africas most unique (and awarded) red blends. Recognising his contribution to the South African winemaking industry, Peter Finlayson was named Winemaking Legend in Tim Atkin MWs 2020 South Africa report. Bouchard Finlaysons Hannibal blend was originally prompted by the classic taste and palate of Italian varieties: Sangiovese and Nebbiolo. Supple dried cherry, blackberry and savoury meat burst underpinned by a tobacco and green olive core. An appealing mid-palate grip is counter-balanced by refreshing acidity hinting that patience will be greatly rewarded. Complex and long. A blend of 42% Sangiovese, 17% Nebbiolo, 15% Pinot Noir, 12% Shiraz, 7% Mourvèdre and 7% Barbera.
