Darling Region

To his friends and family he was 'Pod', but to the Cape Winelands he was Bernard Podlashuk, the maverick winemaker. Never quite satisfied to be just ordinary, he is recognized for his daring vision, sheer audacity and unabated drive that helped place South African wine on the map. The legend of Bernard's tenacity and innovative flair lives on through The Bernard Series, Bellingham's premium range of extraordinary wines.

A full bodied Pinotage with a deep plum purple colour. The wine embodies sensual flavours unique to the varietal, including ripe black fruit, smoked meat and a hint of truffle, beautifully balanced with complex aromas from French oak (50% new and 50% second fill for 14 months).

This is a beautiful clean modern wine, mouthfilling and rewarding and thoroughly recommended. From bush vines growing in Darling.
