The Finlayson family is synonymous with modern era winemaking in the Western Cape region of South Africa. Three generations of Finlayson’s have played a significant role in steering the Cape wine industry in the direction of the international wine world. Current leading Cape winemaker, David Finlayson was born into a winemaking family with his grandfather Dr Maurice Finlayson, a well-known pathologist originally from Inverness in Scotland, having started the family wine business at Hartenberg farm in Koelenhof, Stellenbosch. It was here that his two sons learnt to make wine. First, Walter who was trained as a stockman in Scotland and then Peter took turns at running the farm. David and Walter Finlayson bought the Stellenbosch farm Woodlands which is situated on the fringes of the town along the R44 between Stellenbosch and Klapmuts. The first wines from Woodlands Farm have been named Edgebaston. This lovely Shiraz shows mulberry, violets and smoky vanilla notes on the nose backed up by a bracing freshness and dry, ripe tannins on the palate. A smoky, complex spice and meat character gives a long aftertaste. A classic styled Shiraz leaning more towards its European heritage.
