Richard Duckitt uses grapes from thee vineyards to make his refined, alluringly perfumed Pinotage – two in Stellenbosch and one in Darling – making the most of the cooler vintage to produce a wine with succulence and freshness. Raspberry, bramble and patisserie flavours are framed by stylish 40% new wood and sculpted tannins. 2024-30
4 ½ Stars 2025 John Platter’s South African Wine Guide
Muscular, full 21 (91 pts), exuberant black cherry & plum layered with sweet oak spice & hint of cocoa. Impressive concentration & firm tannin structure suggest extended cellaring. 14 months in 300L cask (as all the reds unless noted), 40% new.

This Pinotage features a delightful nose of pure berry aromas. A rich concentration of fruit flavors that include plums and cherries blend with light leafy notes on the soft palate. Enjoy this wine with BBQ pulled pork and grilled vegetables.
The Bernard Series honours Bernard Podlashuk, Bellingham’s maverick co-founder, whose bold vision and innovation helped shape South African wine. His legacy lives on in this premium, hand-crafted range.
