Pinot Noir
Galpin Peak is Bouchard Finlayson's flagship wine. It has a firmly held reputation for being one of the best Pinots in the country, known for its elegant style with savoury red fruit, forest floor, and refined tannins. The wine is consistently aged in 30% new oak for ten months. Polished and finishing long.
93 Points, Decanter
Smoky and brooding on the nose, with a deep undercurrent of red currants, red cherries, bramble and dark berries. It's both savoury and full of sweet fruit and toasted almonds, providing instant gratification. Open and inviting, and does feel a little warm on the finish. This will develop very nicely. It saw a three day pre-fermentation cold soak, gentle pressing, and maturation in French oak, of which 30% was new.
