Bellingham Wines
Bellingham looks back on a long history that goes back to the year 1693 in Franschhoek Valley in South Africa. The winery is regarded as one of the pioneers of South African winemaking and played a key role in introducing single-vineyard wines, as well as the Rhône grape varieties at the Cape. This spirit of innovation continues to shape everything Bellingham does to this day.
The diverse portfolio includes expressive wines. Discover the unmistakable Chenin Blanc, which reflects the elegance of the region. Even Sauvignon Blanc lovers will find exquisite wines here.
Just as impressive is the Syrah/Shiraz from Bellingham, capturing the Cape terroir perfectly. With this range, Bellingham has earned its name and is firmly established in South Africa’s wine landscape.
Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Founder's Series The Pod is an outstanding wine that reflects the essence of the terroir and the passion of the Winemaker. This exclusive drop is made from handpicked grapes that thrive in the best locations of the vineyard.
In the glass, The Pod presents itself in a deep, dark color. The nose is enveloped by complex aromas of dark berries, black cherries, and a fine spiciness, complemented by notes of vanilla and cedarwood, which arise from the Aged in oak barrels.
On the palate, the wine is powerful and well structured, with ripe tannins and an impressive length.


Pinotage und Shiraz
In dieser Cuvée verbindet sich die dunkle Frucht von Pinotage mit der pfeffrigen Würze von Shiraz. Pinotage steuert häufig Pflaumen- und Kirscharomen, griffiges Tannin und einen kräftigen Körper bei; Shiraz ergänzt Brombeernoten, würzige Tiefe und zusätzliche Fülle. Beide können tragende Gerbstoffe liefern, deren Zusammenspiel je nach Reife und Ausbau geschmeidig bis markant ausfällt. Die Säure ist stark von Standort und Lesezeitpunkt abhängig: Frischer gelesener Shiraz kann die oft weichere Säurewirkung von Pinotage ausgleichen. So entsteht ein fruchtbetonter, würziger Rotwein mit dichter Struktur.
Ihre typische Heimat ist Südafrika, etwa Stellenbosch, Paarl oder Swartland. Im Glas erscheint die Cuvée meist tief rubinrot bis purpurfarben. Die Stilistik reicht von zugänglich und saftig bis zu konzentriert und holzgeprägt. Tannin, Fruchtkonzentration und ausgewogene Säure beider Sorten können Reifepotenzial schaffen. Dazu passen kurz gebratenes Fleisch, Grillgerichte oder würzige Gemüsegerichte.
