Crisp Yellow Pear, Peach Blossom, and Vibrant Coastal Cape Freshness

The 2025 Bellingham "Pear Tree" Chenin Blanc is a delightfully crisp, fruit-forward, and refreshing white wine inspired by the historic pear tree planted on the Franschhoek manor estate in 1710. Sourced from coastal-influenced vineyards across South Africa's Western Cape, this unwooded Chenin Blanc highlights pure varietal character. Soaring aromas of crunchy yellow pear, white peach, green apple, and fragrant jasmine blossom lead into a light-to-medium-bodied, vibrant palate backed by mouth-watering citrus acidity and a clean, mineral finish.

Terroir & Style Notes

  • Heritage & Coastal Terroir: Named after the famous pear tree planted on the estate in 1710, this wine pays homage to Bellingham's deep Franschhoek roots. Grapes are selected from cool-climate, coastal-influenced Western Cape sites, where ocean breezes preserve high natural acidity and vibrant stone fruit flavors.
  • Pure, Unwooded Craftsmanship: Vinified entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without oak contact. Brief aging on fine lees adds a smooth, rounded mouthfeel without masking the wine’s lively Orchard fruit clarity and thirst-quenching freshness.

Highlights

  • 100% Chenin Blanc harvested from sun-drenched, coastal-cooled vineyards in the Western Cape.
  • A vibrant, ultra-refreshing 2025 vintage filled with crisp yellow pear, white peach, melon, and citrus blossom.
  • Crafted by Bellingham, offering easy-drinking, fruit-driven enjoyment over the next 2 to 3 years.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw yellow with brilliant green highlights.
  • Nose: Fresh, fruity, and floral. It opens with aromas of ripe yellow pear, white peach, and honeydew melon, accompanied by jasmine blossoms and lime zest.
  • Palate: Dry, light-to-medium-bodied, and mouth-watering. The entry brings a juicy wave of orchard fruit that flows into a crisp mid-palate, held together by bright citrus acidity into a clean, mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C to highlight its crisp pear fruit and refreshing acidity.
  • Decanting: No decanting needed; pour and enjoy straight from the fridge. Best enjoyed now through 2028.
  • Western Pairing: Grilled chicken salad, pan-seared white fish, goat cheese crostini, or fresh summer pasta.
  • Asian Pairing: Steamed prawns, Thai green curry, salt-and-pepper squid, or Cantonese dim sum.
