Bellingham Premier Grand Cru is a celebrated dry white blend from the Western Cape’s Coastal / Wellington wine regions in South Africa. Crafted from grapes like Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Riesling and Colombard, this blend honours tradition dating back to 1951 when Bellingham launched its “Grand Cru” expression under visionary Podlashuk stewardship. The wine epitomises elegance and refreshing clarity, combining light body, expressive fruit, and a clean, mineral-driven profile.
