Bellingham Big Oak Shiraz

The heritage and tradition of South African winemaking culminate in the Bellingham Big Oak Shiraz. Situated on the historic Bellingham estate, an impressive oak tree, the Big Oak, symbolizes Bellingham's timeless winemaking tradition. This tradition is rooted in both the soil and the estate's history. Just as this oak is deeply rooted in the estate, the Shiraz vines are also firmly anchored in nutrient-rich soil. This contributes to the grapes' outstanding characteristics and the resulting Bellingham Big Oak Shiraz, a wine that delights with rich aromas and a full flavor.
