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.

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.
