It comes from one of South Africa's first Old Vine Chenin Blanc vineyards and shows how profound, elegant, and long-lived this grape can be. It is a white wine that wins you over with its balance, complexity, and extraordinary ability to accompany a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-section-id=\"11ogctz\" data-start=\"595\" data-end=\"614\"\u003eWine Profile\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"616\" data-end=\"1033\"\u003eThe nose offers green apple, pineapple, white and yellow peach, citrus, and wildflowers, accompanied by delicate notes of cedar and sweet spices. The sip is rich but taut, with a pleasant creaminess given by the aging on fine lees. The citrus freshness supports the wine to a long, harmonious, and mineral finish, hinting at an excellent evolutionary potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-section-id=\"1ncrp2v\" data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1060\"\u003eThe Bellingham signature\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1062\" data-end=\"1596\"\u003eGreat vineyards do not need artifice. This is why Bellingham intervenes as little as possible, allowing the vineyard to express itself in the glass. The grapes are harvested at two different times to achieve a perfect balance between freshness and ripeness. Fermentation occurs naturally in French barriques of different passages, and the wine rests on the fine lees with monthly bâtonnage for about ten months, developing complexity and an elegant texture without losing precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-section-id=\"1o713l1\" data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1609\"\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1611\" data-end=\"1725\"\u003ePerfect with roasted poultry, shellfish, fish in sauce, grilled vegetables, creamy risottos, and aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-section-id=\"1b5kwgy\" data-start=\"1727\" data-end=\"1738\"\u003eServing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"1843\"\u003eServe at 10-12°C in a large glass.
