2021 Bellingham The Bernard Series Old Vine Chenin Blanc
South Africa /Coastal Region /Chenin BlancSize: 750ML
"These are 40-year-old bush vines, grown on poor granitic soils on mountain-top vineyards. The yields are low, adding to the wine's concentration, and the grapes have been fermented in steel then aged in oak for nine months. Keenly priced, it shows good typicity, with pronounced lemon curd and tropical fruit depth, and an attractive oak spice and toastiness. If you aren't familiar with old-vine Chenin, this is a great introduction to the style."

"Bellingham Bernard Series Old Vine Chenin Blanc is a wonderful table wine. This beautiful golden wine has fleshy notes of peach, passion fruit, cantaloupe, papaya and pineapple, with hints of oats and crushed wheat for a full-bodied mouthfeel. This is a powerful and balanced wine with a fresh, intense and long finish."
