David FinlaysonThe Red Reserve Mixed Case

About

Edgebaston Vineyard, situated in the foothills of the Simonsberg Mountain in the Northern reaches of the Stellenbosch wine region, is the home of David Finlayson's range of premium wines. With over 25 years of winemaking experience in South Africa and a number of wineries around the World, David Finlayson is a name synonymous with producing wines from top-quality Burgundian and Bordeaux grape varieties alike. Born and raised in Stellenbosch, a third-generation grape grower and vintner, David and his family purchased the run-down Edgebaston Farm in 2004 and began replanting and rebuilding to create the picturesque 30-hectare vineyard that is the Edgebaston Vineyard today.
