About this product
Named after the rocky Galpin Peak above the Hemel-en-Aarde estate, this Pinot Noir is Bouchard Finlayson's flagship: concentrated wild cherry, dark plum, and truffle with a firm, age-worthy structure and long mineral finish.

The wine's truffle character creates a direct bridge with truffle honey; Manchego's aged nuttiness and pistachios add the savoury complexity the wine's depth demands.
