Producer: Bellingham Wines are continuously challenging the boundaries seeking ways to create authentic, classic, yet memorable wines. It is the well thought out secret splash or subtle dashes of flavour that makes the Fusion range instantly interesting.
With a history firmly rooted in the winelands of the Cape, the first vines were planted in the beautiful Franschhoek valley more than 350 years ago. Since then, generations of Bellingham winemakers have toiled the earth, nurtured the vines and carefully crafted wines of great diversity and character.
Bellingham Shiraz is selected from prime vineyards of maximum ripeness and varieties, adding extra excitement and intrigue with a splash of Viognier (2%). The wine is matured in French oak for 12 months, resulting in a full, bold flavour. It’s no secret that the label is one of South Africa’s best known wines in global markets while remaining a favourite at home.
Availability: Widely available through LCBO General List. |
