The Wine
Weighty and warming, this red is made from the hand picked grapes of Pinotage bush vines up to 60 years old. It comes from the Bellevue Estate in premium Stellenbosch, owned by the Morkel family since 1861. With a beautifully restored, original Cape Dutch homestead at its centre, the property grows a fabulous array of grapes, including the Cape’s unique Pinotage. Indeed, Bellevue is as famous there as the Kanonkop Estate for being one of the earliest pioneers of this variety. Winemakers Wilhelm Kritzinger and Anneke Potgieter are Pinotage specialists.
