Tasting note
The Bouchard Finlayson Blanc de Mer exudes lots of floral aromas followed by flattering notes of fine nectarines, dried apricots and jasmine blossoms. On the palate, it is full-bodied, fresh and lively with convincing Riesling strength, with nuances of figs, pineapple and fragrant quince on the finish. A true 'cool climate' wine with lively acidity and a fine saline touch.
Culinary recommendation
Its easy drinkability makes Blanc de Mer a popular aperitif, but it's also second to none with fresh seafood — think Thai red shrimp curry, bouillabaisse, or simply oysters. The wine also complements any picnic basket packed for a whale watching trip to world-famous Walker Bay.
Vinification
While the Riesling grown on the estate forms the basis for this unique blend, Viognier has also been contributed over the years from various vineyards in the Overberg, Stellenbosch and even from the upper Hemel-en-Aarde valley. An older vineyard in Elgin, with a significant proportion of granite soils, is currently producing consistent results. Before pressing, all grapes are destemmed and fermented in a cool environment without oak wood. Sauvignon Blanc returns to the blend, primarily because of the aromatic variety and refreshment on the palate.
