Hermanus Fynarts Festival

BOUCHARD FINLAYSON WINE AND ART AT THE HERMANUS FYNARTS FESTIVAL

Bouchard Finlayson has congratulated the winners of the 2018 Tollman Bouchard Finlayson Art Award. The owners of Bouchard Finlayson, the Tollman family, has supported the competition as sponsor over the past five years. The winner Juanita Oosthuizen (‘Timeless Vintage’) received a cash prize of R20 000, followed by a second prize of R10 000 (Suné Burger for ‘Saved for a special occasion’), and two merit prizes of R5 000 each were awarded to Corina Lemmer (‘Prayers to Heal the Land No.3: Boeta wore two-tone’) and Lize Beekman (‘Something old, something new, something blue’).

A national competition which this year received 226 entries, it is recognised as one of the principal events during the Hermanus FynArts Festival. The theme of this year’s competition was ‘Vintage’ and once again, artists were invited to submit their entries, in tondo format (circular – at a maximum of 60cm in diameter). Entries were received across various types of media, including, paper, ceramic, embroidery, mosaic, metal-work, photography, digitally/mechanically produced, photo-based and sculptural/3-dimensional works.

The works of 54 finalists are currently on display in the wine cellar on the Bouchard Finlayson estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley, where they will also be available for sale for the duration of the Hermanus FynArts festival (8 – 17 June 2018). The extended exhibition closes on 30 September 2018.

ABOUT BOUCHARD FINLAYSON
Established in 1989 in the temperate Hemel-en-Aarde Valley on 125 hectares (312 acres) of Walker Bay’s prime viticultural land, Bouchard Finlayson Vineyard and Winery is a small cellar dedicated to the quality production of Pinot noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. Ever since releasing their first vintages, the name Bouchard Finlayson has been internationally synonymous with excellence. Today, owned by the Red Carnation Hotels’ Tollman family and under the leadership of Victoria Tollman, founder Peter Finlayson and winemaker Chris Albrecht, 22 hectares (54 acres) of the estate are currently under vine with 50% devoted to the varietal for which Peter is most acclaimed – Pinot noir. Other cultivars under production include Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc and Sangiovese, as well as a handful under exploration. Bouchard Finlayson is a World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Conservation Champion.
