The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, not far from Walker Bay in the South Atlantic, is a paradisiacal place in South Africa. The conditions here are ideal for the white Chardonnay grape variety to develop its full qualities. The Bouchard Finlayson wine estate is a master at conveying precisely this in its Chardonnay creations. The Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale Chardonnay is wonderful proof of this.
The bouquet of this South African white wine combines stimulating, fresh and fruity notes of lemon, white peach and juicy melon. There are also nuances of fresh hay and salted almonds.
On the palate, the Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale Chardonnay is dry and wonderfully aromatic (see the notes on the nose). There is also a lively acidity and a pleasantly velvety texture, supported by the ageing in wood. The pleasantly creamy finish lingers for an exceptionally long time.
In the 2019 vintage, John Platter's Wine Guide awarded this shimmering golden-green Chardonnay from the Western Cape a proud 94 points. A clear indication from critic Tim James that the Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale Chardonnay is an exceptional white wine from South Africa.
The pure Chardonnay matured for nine months in French oak barrels. Enjoy the white wine with prawns with garlic, a classic Waldorf salad or with grilled halloumi or goat's cheese.
