Nestled in the Hemel?en?Aarde Valley near Hermanus, Bouchard?Finlayson is a distinguished boutique winery established in 1989. Co?founded by Burgundian winemaker Paul Bouchard and local pioneer Peter?Finlayson, the estate spans 125?ha—with around 22?ha under vine and the rest preserved as a fynbos conservancy, earning a WWF Conservation Champion accolade.
Leveraging cool maritime breezes, Koue?Bokkeveld shale soils, and Burgundian high?density planting, the estate excels in Pinot?Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon?Blanc. Its sophistication, particularly in Pinot?Noir (like the flagship Galpin?Peak), has garnered international acclaim and multiple awards.
