Bellingham Freda 2022

R556.00

Region: Western Cape

Tasting note:

“The revered treatment this Cape-style white blend receives from vineyard to cellar shows in its tasting. Delicate floral aromas entice on entry, with hints of pear drop, yellow peach and green almonds, which follow through onto the palate. The Sauvignon Blanc component adds a fresh element, providing balance to the considered use of French oak. On the finish, the wine delights with its pithy character and a slight saline edge for a lingering, fresh sensation.” – Winemaker

The history of Bellingham begins in 1693, when the Dutchman Gerrit Janz van Vuuren and his wife planted the first 1,000 vines on the estate, which was then called Bellinchamp (“beautiful fields”). It then passed from family to family until Bernard and Fredagh Podlashuk purchased the somewhat dilapidated farm in 1943 and set about restoring the mansion, gardens and vineyards, paving the way for the modern renaissance of the Bellingham estate in Franschhoek In the 80s and 90s the vineyards were expanded, the wine cellars expanded and the classic New World winemaking philosophy of Bellingham introduced. Today, the brand is firmly anchored in the 21st century, although still inspired by its history of innovation, ingenuity and vision, producing contemporary, structured wines with a distinctive sense of place and style.
