Bouchard Finlayson White Wine

Bouchard Finlayson White Wine – South African elegance with a Burgundian touch

Bouchard Finlayson is one of South Africa's most renowned producers, particularly known for their fine wines from the cool climate of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley . The white wines from the house express a clear connection to Burgundy - but with African freshness and character . At dhwines.dk we have selected precisely the white wines that balance minerality, freshness and complexity .

Terroir: Heaven and Earth

The name means “Heaven and Earth” – and that’s exactly what the wines reflect. The cool sea breeze from Walker Bay, combined with slate and chalky soils, provide perfect conditions for Chardonnay and aromatic white wine grapes .

Signature wines

• Missionvale Chardonnay: Beautifully balanced with citrus, baked apple, vanilla and lime – aged partially in oak, which gives creaminess without overpowering the freshness.
• Sans Barrique Chardonnay: A Chardonnay without a barrel – clean, crisp and mineral. Notes of green apples, lemon and sea salt.
• Sauvignon Blanc: Fresh, herbaceous and mineral – with an elegant and discreet style that stands out from the more tropical versions.
• Blends and experiments: In some vintages, the house also releases exciting small batch wines made from, for example, Viognier or Semillon.

Flavor profile and style

• Elegant and dry style – never over-mature
• Fruit: Citrus, green apples, white flowers
• Structure: Fresh acidity, good length and balanced mouthfeel
• Dish: Only where it supports – never dominates
