Bellingham Homestead Series Pinotage

Vintage: The Cape’s devastating drought played a dominant role in this year’s harvest. “At the onset of harvest, people were expecting a below average vintage, however, going on what we are tasting and seeing in the cellar, vintage 2018 was an above average vintage,” says winemaker, Richard Duckitt “Our yields are down a little, but the quality is definitely not.”

Tasting Notes: An intense dark red middle with a ruby red rim plotting sweet spices, plums and mulberries with hints of vanilla on the nose. Hints of ripe and juicy raspberry, strawberry and black cherry flavours are supported by well-integrated oak spice on the palate with an exciting tannin structure.
