Bouchard Finlayson will be presenting a Tutored Wine Tasting in Constantia at Open Door Restaurant on Tuesday 23 May 2017 from 18:00 to 19:30. Themed ‘Magnum or not: do wines mature better in large format bottles?’, winemaker Chris Albrecht will present 10 wines for tasting, alongside delectable canapés prepared by Open Door. (Cost: R300 per person and only 30 guests can be accommodated. Bookings are essential and can be made on info@bouchardfinlayson.co.za or Tel 028 312 3515. Guests are welcome to book dinner at the restaurant following the tasting, for their own account.)
Winemaker Chris Albrecht recently celebrated his 7th harvest since he started at Bouchard Finlayson in 2011, working alongside Peter Finlayson, the founder of the boutique wine estate. The Tutored Tasting promises to be an elegant, fun and informative experience that will introduce the Hemel-en-Aarde producer’s award-winning wines. In this comparative tasting, Bouchard Finlayson’s revered Pinot Noir and the unique Hannibal red blend will be presented in the standard 750ml bottle versus the larger format of a magnum bottle.

ABOUT BOUCHARD FINLAYSON
Established in 1989 in the temperate Hemel-en-Aarde Valley on 125 hectares (312 acres) of Walker Bay's prime viticultural land, Bouchard Finlayson Vineyard and Winery is a small cellar dedicated to the quality production of Pinot noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. Ever since releasing their first vintages, the name Bouchard Finlayson has been internationally synonymous with excellence. Today, owned by the Red Carnation Hotels’ Tollman family and under the leadership of Victoria Tollman, founder Peter Finlayson and winemaker Chris Albrecht, 22 hectares (54 acres) of the estate are currently under vine with 50% devoted to the varietal for which Peter is most acclaimed – Pinot noir. Other cultivars under production include Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc and Sangiovese, as well as a handful under exploration.
