Grape

Viognier

Origin
Celebrating the legendary maverick founder of Bellingham, Bernard Podlashuk, 'The Bernard Series' is an homage to his efforts in placing South Africa on the winemaking map. Hand picked grapes are fermented and aged in one year old French oak with 4% lees contact.
Taste
Perfumed aromas of peaches, lychees, rose petal and spice are complemented by rich layers of fruit with spicy undertones of white pepper and cinnamon on the palate with a lingering and inviting finish.
Enjoy
Will partner well with delicately flavoured, creamy seafood and poultry dishes. Enjoy over the next two years.

    Bernard Viognier

    Viognier is a slightly acquired taste. But I acquired it, and this wine is superb...a real winner.

    Not quite

    Nice and could be something esp for its' price range, but too much alcohol. Nice nose, good flavours, little acidic and doesn't remain on your palate long afterwards. I may be hard as I love a good viognier...

    Great Viognier

    Like it's sister wine, the Chenin blanc. This Viognier is a tribute to great wine making. Love Viognier, But Adore this one. Beautiful delicate fruit, fine nose.

    tasty but...

    Apricot jam nose, but nice oily mouthfeel. Hot, short finish. Well-made, but over alcoholic for the fruit.

    simply marvellous !

    This is a great wine, in my opinion, a bargain at £10 and even better with 25%off. Sweet smoky start and a citrus finish...delicious

    "We've been consistently impressed by Bellingham's Bernard Series and the latest vintage of the Viognier builds on the good work. It's quite a rich style, with some creamy but integrated oak alongside the peachy fruit and precise acidity. Rating: 91/100 Goes with: Asian."
