Bellingham, Homestead Pinotage, Swartland, 2014

Bellingham is one of the biggest names in South African winemaking, and their Homestead range focuses on regionality and high quality fruit. A nose of dried red fruits hints at the depth of flavour to come. In the mouth, juicy sour cherry, blackberry and strawberry fruits are defined by fine tannins and good length of finish. Eleven months in old French oak has lent breadth to the palate along with some subtle spicy notes.
