Bouchard Finlayson, Blanc de Mer, Cape South Coast, South Africa 2019

Intensely limey and lemony on the nose, with fresh, friendly and inviting characters of lemon pith, yellow apples and jasmine blossom. Grapefruit overtones, with salty and mineral undertones. This is not a classic combination of grape varieties, but it's a fun, enjoyable wine made for fresh seafood. Less than three weeks before grapes were picked, a terrible wild fire raged through the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Thankfully the grapes were not affected, yet the yield was slightly lower.
