Bellevue Reserve Cabernet Franc 2021

The Bellevue Wine Estate started out as a  livestock farm long before it made history as the centre of commercial pinotage cultivation in South Africa. Their characteristic, closely planted bush vines lend themselves naturally to sustainable, biodynamic cultivation, while delivering fruit with intense and concentrated flavour.  1953 was the year that one of South Africa’s first Pinotage vineyards was planted with a view to production on a commercial scale – this after years of propagation and nurturing that followed the crossing of Pinot Noir and Hermitage (Cinsaut) at Stellenbosch University in 1925.
