Pinotage

Beef, Game (deer, venison), Poultry

A better winter after three dry winters didn't prevent a tiny crop and gradual ripening. Tiny berries allowed the production of wines with highly concentrated varietal character.

The wine matured in American oak for 12 months

The grapes were harvested at 25°B. Fermented at 26 - 28°C for about 4 days. Pumped over 3 times daily during alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation was completed in tanks

Bellevue Wine Estate, a family-owned estate with over 200 years of winemaking heritage, proudly pioneered one of South Africa’s first commercial Pinotage plantings. Rooted in Stellenbosch's rich viticultural history, we create terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention, crafting each bottle to tell a story.
