{"product_id":"bouchard-finlayson-blanc-de-mer-afrique-du-sud","title":"Bouchard Finlayson - Blanc de Mer - 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley, near the coastal town of Hermanus in Walker Bay, the Bouchard Finlayson estate benefits from a cool maritime climate, tempered by the South Atlantic Ocean. The vines for the Blanc de Mer cuvée are planted in well-drained clay-schist and granite soils, which promote slow ripening and preserve the natural acidity of the grapes. The oceanic influence, cool breezes, and morning mists give this terroir a particularly elegant expression, marked by tension, aromatic purity, and a pronounced minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand, plot by plot, to preserve the aromatic integrity of each varietal. After gentle pressing, the musts are cold-settled and then fermented separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of the fruit and the maritime freshness characteristic of the estate's style. Aging continues on fine lees, still in stainless steel tanks, with periodic stirring, before the final blending and bottling, which aims to preserve tension, complexity, and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003estone fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003egreen apple\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by floral touches of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e and a subtle \u003cstrong\u003esaline and mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e dimension.
