Who makes it?

Bellevue Wine Estate is a family-owned winery located in the prestigious Stellenbosch wine region of South Africa. The Morkel family, who established the estate in 1861, has been dedicated to crafting exceptional wines for generations. The legacy began with Philip Morkel, a German immigrant who married a local woman and settled in South Africa. His grandson, PK Morkel, transitioned the estate from a livestock farm to a flourishing winery, and today, Dirkie Morkel continues to honor the family's traditions while modernizing the estate with state-of-the-art winemaking facilities.
How is it made?

From vineyard blocks dating back to 1990, now trellised and partly irrigated. Most of Bellevue's Malbec vineyards lie on the flat terrain alongside the Bottelary River, with one exception—a vineyard on a southern-facing hillside.

The grapes were handpicked and cold-soaked before inoculation. The wine fermented for about five days, with pump-overs three times daily. After completing malolactic fermentation in tank, the wine was matured in French oak (20% new) for 12 months.
What does it taste like?

Tantalisingly wild on the nose, with scents of rosemary, fynbos and buchu, but soft on the palate with an abundance of plums and red cherries, underscored by hints of watercress and herbs. Delicious with roast leg of Karoo lamb with rosemary and mint, or an African-inspired guineafowl ‘coq’ au vin!
