Boutique winery Bouchard Finlayson in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley has triumphed at the second South African Wine Index awards held in Stellenbosch yesterday, winning one trophy and with three wines rated above 96 points.
For the second time, the SAWI Grand trophy for the Top 2010 Wine Cellar went to Bouchard Finlayson, which was also included in the SAWI Top 10 Winery Awards.
Winemaker Peter Finlayson was once again named Viticulturist of the Year.
“I am shaken but delighted by these fantastic results,” Finlayson said. “It is a tribute to our dedicated team at the farm who work tirelessly in search of perfection. We have the Hemel-en-Aarde’s uniquely gentle climate and the cold ocean to thank for our quality grapes which make Burgundian-styled wines of excellence.”
