Red, bold, delicious and proudly South African – that’s the sort of wine we’re very interested in!
Our pick this week:
Bellingham Bernard Series Bush Vine Pinotage
R309.99, Woolworths
Why we love it:
Bernard Podlashuk, one of the mavericks behind Bellingham wines, was a pioneering winemaker whose bold vision and fearless innovation helped shape the South African wine landscape. In dedication to his fearless spirit, this masterful pinotage – South Africa’s signature variety – is a limited release, so run, don’t walk!
Sourced from hardy old bush vines, it delivers intense fruit, floral finesse and deep complexity, all polished by 18 months in French oak. Bold, rare and unmissable.
