About
With over 25 years of winemaking experience gained in South Africa and a number of wineries around the world, including Chateau Margaux in France and Peter Lehmann Wines in Australia, David Finlayson is a name synonymous with producing wines from top-quality Burgundian and Bordeaux grape varieties alike.
Born and raised in Stellenbosch and a third-generation grape grower and vintner, David Finlayson and his family purchased the run-down Edgebaston Farm in 2004 and began the painstaking replanting and rebuilding process to create the picturesque 30-hectare vineyard that is the Edgbaston Vineyard today.
