Bellingham The Bernard Series Single Vineyard Albariño 2023

The 2023 vintage of the Bernard Series Motherblock Albariño is a testament to the pioneering spirit of Bernard Podlashuk, whose audacious approach helped forge the path for South African wine. Originating from a select 1 Ha single vineyard block in Cape Town, South Africa, this wine captures the essence of its unique terroir. Crafted with meticulous care, it showcases the vibrant character and complexity that Albariño is celebrated for, making it a notable addition to any connoisseur’s collection.

Expect a pale, straw-like yellow with hints of green, reflecting its youthful vigour. On
the nose, the wine opens with a vibrant bouquet of salted lemon and ripe peach and
apricot, complemented by refreshing citrus and hints of pineapple and tropical fruits.

Floral notes gracefully intertwine, adding a layer of complexity. On the palate, this
Albariño is fresh and crisp, with a mouth-watering acidity that is beautifully balanced by
the sweetness of white peach and a citrusy zest. The tropical notes of pineapple shine
through, giving way to a subtle minerality and salinity that speaks to its coastal origins
which persists on the long, satisfying finish.
