What a cool red. Complex and firm with brightness and finesse. Full to medium body, ultra-fine tannins and a long, long finish. Hints of vanilla and spice. This is a blend of 52% sangivovese, 17% pinot noir, 15% nebbiolo, 8% mourvèdre, 6% syrah and 2% barbera. Aged from 10 to 16 months in wood and then blended before bottling. Drink now and enjoy.

This wine never fails to amaze customers. It offers great subtlety, style and freshness from such an original blend of grapes: Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Shiraz and Mourvèdre. It's named after the General who drove a team of Afraican elephants over the Alps to attack Rome - NOT the other one! The Wine Merchant (Sept 2015)
Superbly smooth with lots of leather, ending in a harmonious velvety finish. Flavours of wild berries, black cherry and spicy plum all combine to present this delicious wine. Delicious with red grilled meat and Italian dishes. Winemaker's notes (Aug 2015)
An odd mix of Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, Mourvèdre, Barbera and others, but it really works. Smooth, wild berry and plum fruit with touches of cream and spice. Serious, well-made wine.Christine Austin, The Yorkshire Post (Jun 2015)
Bouchard Finlayson
Bouchard Finlayson is a top class, internationally-renowned estate situated in Walker Bay, mid-way between Cape Point and Cape Agulhas (the most southerly tip of Africa). The climate is largely influenced by the nearby cold Atlantic Ocean rendering it one of the coolest wine-growing areas in the Cape. The Hemel-en-Aarde valley, home to Bouchard Finlayson, is surrounded and sheltered by a mountain barrier, formed by Galpin Peak (810 metres) and the Tower of Babel (1200 metres), which traps the cloud cover and moisture brought in from the sea by the prevailing wind.
The estate is committed to conservation and sustainable farming, and they strongly believe their BWI membership sets them apart from other winemaking regions in the world. BWI (Biodiversity and Wine Initiative) is a partnership between the South African wine industry and the conservation sector, aimed at protecting the Cape’s rich floral kingdom. To this end, only 19ha of their most precious resource – the land – is under vine in order to preserve the natural indigenous fynbos (a valuable ecosystem).
