Tasting notes
The Bush Vine Pinotage 2021 from Winery Bellingham is a remarkable wine that embodies the best of South African winemaking.
Made from handpicked Grapes, which are in traditional bush vines were cultivated, this shows Pinotage a deep, ruby red color.
The nose is from Aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and a fine smoky note pampered, which is typical for this grape variety. On the palate, the wine presents itself as full-bodied and velvety, with a harmonious balance between fruit, acidity and soft tannins. Subtle hints of Chocolate and Spices round off the taste experience
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
