The Bellevue 1953 Pinotage ensnares the nose with an enticing bouquet of maraschino cherry and plum, and indulges the palate with a silky tannic structure and a lingering finish. An inimitable Pinotage from a vineyard planted in 1953, with remarkable terroir drive, stunning length and elegance. A wine to spend time with to enjoy all the facets and perfume notes that unfold in the glass.
