Reviews and Ratings

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Smoky melon, lemon, lime, and tropical fruit notes with a little lees character in the mix. Crisp lemon and white peach palate. Ideal for grilled chicken and fish dishes.
From the Western Cape Wine Region, Bellingham Homestead is a well-priced Sauvignon Blanc with light tropical, ripe grapefruit and grassy flavours on the palate, crisp and fresh with clean mineral flavours from beginning to end. Balanced fruit to acidity. This vintage was awarded Silver Outstanding at the 2017 International Wine & Spirit Competition. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
