tellenbosch’s beautiful Bellevue Estate cultivates approximately 125ha of vineyards each year. This enables the winemaker to select the very best pockets from which to make the wines that Bellevue is renowned for. Rich in heritage, Bellevue Estate dates back to early 1800s and was one of the first wine farms to plant Pinotage on a commercial scale in 1953. The estate also boasts an original Cape Dutch homestead that was built in 1803. After careful restoration in 1993, the house was declared a national monument.
