Situated in the lush Tarwin River valley of South Gippsland, Bellvale was established in 1998 by John Ellis who spent years honing is craft with many trips to Burgundy. The wine sees 7 months in French oak and then a further 7 months in bottle before being released.

Gamey, fleshy and very savoury this is a delicious Pinot that delivers great value.

Deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a light red hue. Pronounced dark cherry, forest floor and meaty characters meld into sappy herb notes and spicy cedar. Light to medium weight the palate features dark cherry, red currant and rhubarb flavours over forest floor characters, game, stalky cedar and spicy herbs. Supple feel finishing with vibrant acidity and fine grained tannins. Excellent drive with a long gamey aftertaste of ripe dark cherries, rhubarb, forest floor, stalky cedar and spicy herbs.
Cellar 4-5 years.
