Bouchard Finlayson, Galpin Peak Pinot Noir 2020
Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak Pinot Noir is beautifully balanced, rich, and dark, with inviting aromas of berries, plums, and subtle floral notes. The palate is expressive and refined, showing pure fruit flavours and a smooth, generous finish. It’s drinking well now but has the structure to age gracefully for several years. The wine comes from the estate’s clay-rich soils in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, an area perfectly suited to Pinot Noir. Unusually for South Africa, the vineyards are planted in tightly spaced rows following the traditional Burgundian model. This encourages natural competition between vines, resulting in smaller yields and fruit of greater intensity, depth, and colour - a hallmark of Galpin Peak’s distinctive character.
Château Saint-Roch, Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Rouge 2022
Château Saint Roch is a respected estate in the southern Rhône Valley, known for producing expressive and authentic wines that showcase the rich terroir of the region. Their Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is a beautifully crafted wine that showcases the power, elegance, and richness of this historic appellation. Full-bodied and harmonious, it offers layers of luscious red and black fruit flavours, with notes of spice, savoury herbs, and subtle minerality. The tannins are fine-grained and silky, balanced by vibrant acidity that lends freshness to the wine’s richness. Enjoy it with lamb, game, a beef stew or with aged hard cheeses.
