Bellingham
Bellingham is a historic Franschhoek wine name dating back to 1693, with a legacy of Cape firsts including rosé and single-varietal Shiraz. Today, the range draws from selected Western Cape vineyards to produce contemporary South African wines with structure, regional character and broad everyday appeal.
Description
The 2020 Basket Press Syrah offers a compelling aromatic profile that is both bold and refined. On the nose, it entices with violet and dried indigenous fynbos florals, followed by layered aromas of cracked black and white pepper, rich dark chocolate, and a foundation of raspberry and blackberry fruit. The palate is generously structured, with ripe tannins and complexity that promise further integration with time. The wine exudes both power and elegance.
Food Pairing
This expressive Syrah shines with richly flavored dishes such as roast venison, aged fillet or rump, spicy sausages, pork, duck confit, or bold game meats. Its structure complements charcuterie and hearty fare beautifully.
