Bellingham:
At Bellingham we believe that great wines are made in the vineyard. That is why source only the finest grapes and nurture them from vine to bottle. In order to preserve the natural fruit characteristics of individual grape cultivars, we lavish time and attention on each wine throughout the production process. We place a high premium on mouthfeel and believe in subtle oak maturation to enhance the structure and complexity of our wines. By following this method of minimal intervention and maximum attention to detail, we are able to produce distinctive, complex wines that are both expressive of their vineyard origin and complementary to a wide range of cuisine.

Winemaking:
Christelle Duckitt is muse and wife to Richard, the winemaker here at Bellingham. Among many common passions, they share a love of good wine and look forward to enjoying a glass together in the evenings, especially now: “…in recent years, I have tried to drink more light wines because I want to keep my daily calories down and drink less alcohol, especially during the week. But I always felt like I was missing out until Richard involved me in trialing his new light range and I was absolutely delighted to find that, sometimes in life, you truly can have the best of both worlds.”
