Pinotage is unique to South Africa, and Bellevue Estate pioneered some of the very first plantings during the 1950s. Success soon followed with a Trophy for Best Wine in 1959. 60 years on, that outstanding quality endures in this big, ripe red.

The Wine
Weighty and warming, this red is crafted from handpicked grapes sourced from Pinotage bush vines, some as old as 60 years. It comes from the Bellevue Estate in Stellenbosch, a historic property owned by the Morkel family since 1861. At its heart stands a beautifully restored, original Cape Dutch homestead, surrounded by an array of grape varieties, including the Cape’s unique Pinotage. Bellevue is known, alongside Kanonkop Estate, as one of the earliest pioneers of this variety. Winemakers Wilhelm Kritzinger and Anneke Potgieter are Pinotage specialists too. Aged in American oak, this wine’s rich berry fruit has taken on spicy, vanilla aromas, while tannins are beautifully rounded. Enjoy with barbecued chicken or char-grilled steaks.
