Bernard Series Bush Vine Pinotage: the bush cultivation

Bernard Series Bush Vine Pinotage: South African excellence to celebrate Pinotage Day

On Pinotage Day, October 14, we want to celebrate one of South Africa's most iconic red wines: The Bernard Series Bush Vine Pinotage from the celebrated Bellingham winery. A wine that tells the story, identity and innovation of the Pinotage grape variety, South Africa's national pride.

🍇 A signature Pinotage: grapes from 43-year-old sapling vineyards

The peculiarity of this South African Pinotage lies in its origin: the grapes come from vineyards over 40 years old, cultivated with bush vines, an ancient technique that allows maximum exposure to the sun, ensuring uniform ripening and superior aromatic concentration. The result is a deep, complex wine rich in nuances.

☀️ The strength of the Franschhoek terroir

The vines grow in the rich and varied soil of the Franschhoek wine region , one of South Africa's most renowned for its biodiversity and microclimates . Thanks to the generous sunshine and mineral soil, the grapes develop an intense aromatic profile , which translates into notes of berries, black cherries, fine spices, and a lingering finish with hints of vanilla and dark chocolate.

🍷 A wine for connoisseurs
