A protea among ericas. | A day etched in memory. A ninety minute drive, being chased by a dog that cleared a fence, falling in love with the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley's panoramic views, expert guidance of fynbos and fauna by Frank Woodvine, an intimate wine tasting and lunch with Chris Albrecht. A day as quixotic and astounding as Pinot Noir. | #BouchardFinlayson #naturewalks #Hermanus #southafrica #pinotnoir #sauvignonblanc #chardonnay #discoveroverberg #hemelenaarde #visitwinelands #visitsawinelands #fynbos #vineyard #southafrica #tasteletssee #galpinpeak #bouchardfinlaysongalpinpeak #galpinpeakpinotnoir | 📸: @fivestarprza (at Bouchard Finlayson)

A pronounced palate. | Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak Pinot Noir (2015, wine of origin Hemel-en-Aarde) | Erica Galpinii, an indigenous fynbos flower, named in honour of Ernest Edward Galpin, South African banker and botanist. Erica Galpin is endemic to high mountain tops, one of which is Galpin Peak on the Bouchard Finlayson farm, located in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in Hermanus, South Africa. | #BouchardFinlayson #naturewalks #Hermanus #southafrica #pinotnoir #sauvignonblanc #discoveroverberg #hemelenaarde #visitwinelands #visitsawinelands #fynbos #vineyard #southafrica #tasteletssee #galpinpeak #bouchardfinlaysongalpinpeak #galpinpeakpinotnoir (at Bouchard Finlayson)

Tasted the 1997 Galpin Peak Pinot Noir with Bouchard Finlayson's new Cellarmaster, Chris Albrecht. It was like what I would imagine a conversation with Iris Apfel would be like. Balanced, structured, bold strawberry on the nose, accessorised with the delicacy of a cold climate heritage. Enjoyed every moment in the company of this wine - one of the most extraordinary treasures I have ever encountered. Thank you for sharing Her with me, this is the best wine I tasted last week and quite possibly the best I've tasted in 2016. Thank you for sharing this rare treat with me.xx | #BouchardFinlayson #WalkerBay #Hermanus #SouthAfrica #MysteryTasting #tasteletssee #PinotNoir #galpinpeak #WOSA #grateful (at Bouchon Wine Bar & Bistro)
