Bush Vine

2007 Stellenbosch Pinotage

The Bernard Series Bush Vine Pinotage from the Stellenbosch region is a remarkable expression of this unique varietal. This full-bodied red wine showcases the depth and complexity that comes with age, as the 2007 vintage reveals a beautifully developed character. With medium acidity, it offers a pleasant balance that enhances its luscious fruit intensity, featuring prominent notes of ripe black cherry and subtle hints of smoky undertones. The tannins are notably structured, providing a solid backbone that supports the wine's rich flavors. This wine is also dry, making it an excellent pairing partner for hearty dishes or simply enjoyable on its own. Enjoying a glass of this Pinotage is truly a delightful experience, as its layered profiles and smooth finish invite you back for more.

Region:


Coastal Region
Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
