The rise of the 'coffee cult' style of wine first exploded on the South African wine scene with Pinotage. True to our innovative ethos, and after extensive experimentation with various varietal and wood options, Bellingham discovered that Merlot was a great fit and were the first to release this style.
Lively ruby with good depth of colour and a vibrant pink rim. Immediately inviting aromas of roast coffee beans and bitter dark chocolate carried by juicy black and red cherry fragrances that glide across the palate in a smooth and delicious mouthful of ripe fleshy plum and mulberry fruit well integrated with fresh coffee grinds and flecks of cacao and vanilla. Soft and lingering on the finish.
Serve as an effortless social sipping wine for any occasion. Also recommended as a great match with fire grilled steak, ribs and burgers, traditional dishes like lamb bobotie or tomato bredie or Meditterannean mezze platters and Italian antipasta cold cuts, pizza and pasta.
