Pinot Noir remains Bouchard Finlayson’s distinctive calling card and this vintage represents the 21st edition of Galpin Peak Pinot Noir from our property.

in the vineyard : 2013 vintage was a surprise! Wet conditions threatened to spoil the vintage ... we were faced with undoubtedly an uncomfortable and unpredictable weather game. The results proved otherwise, imagine our surprise when presented with startling success. It is exciting to thank our special little wine gods for insisting on producing a great Pinot vintage.
