David Finlayson Camino Africana Chenin Blanc 2020
Rating: 93 Points
“David Finlayson employs fruit from two 1960s bush vine parcels to produce this complex, focused Chenin Blanc. Wound around a spine of acidity and minerality, this has subtle patisserie and green apple flavours and a stony, dry finish. 2022-28” Tim Atkin
David Finlayson Camino Africana Chardonnay 2020
Rating: 92 Points
“Using grapes from four different vineyards, this finely judged Chardonnay is supple and smooth, with good texture, some cream from partial malolactic, pear and nectarine fruit and nuanced 10% new wood. 2021-24” Tim Atkin
David Finlayson Chardonnay 2020
Rating: 91 Points
“Priced below the Camino Africana bottling but offering very good value for money, this has appealing struck match aromas, nuanced 10% oak, tangy acidity and pear and melon fruit. 2021-25” Tim Atkin
David Finlayson Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Rating: 90 Points
“Aromatic, serious and still youthful, David Finlayson’s Cabernet offers a lot of flavour an structure for the price. Textured, deeply coloured and plush with dark cherry and fresh herb flavours and stylish oak. 2021-26” Tim Atkin
