The Bouchard Finlayson Boutique Winery is a leader in
producing world class Pinot noir wines from South Africa.
Growing on the slopes of Galpin Peak in the Walker Bay
region, with Hermanus being the nearest town, repeated
vintages of this path-blazing wine continue to reflect a
true celebration of Pinot-crafting, endorsing the
Hemel-en-Aarde Valley (Heaven and Earth) as a jewel in the
terroir search for excellence with this illusive grape
Peter Finlayson was the first modern day winemaker in
this valley. With his accumulated wine making knowledge
he has been instrumental in the primary effort of
putting the Walker Bay wine region on the map. Apart
from their Pinot noir, they produce outstanding
Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnays, a zesty, fresh white blend
(Blanc de Mer) and an Italian, French red blend
(Hannibal). Visit the estate for a wine tasting
experience in their old world cellar and take a wander
around the winery bragging exceptional views of both
valley and ocean.
