2021 Sydney Back Kosher Pinotage
The Back family business was founded in 1902 by Charles Louis Back – who came to South Africa as a penniless, illiterate, Jewish refugee from Lithuania. From there it was transferred into the hands of Sydney, followed by Michael and his son Simon. Over the years the business has gone through many iterations since its purchase by CL Back in 1916.
In its 106 years, it has been a mixed farming operation – from fruit to grapes and even livestock – but today the focus is on the wine business. Celebrating four generations of family ownership, and several years of quality winemaking, Backsberg Family Wines continues to thrive by honoring the past whilst simultaneously forging ahead with forward-thinking holistic practices.
Vines planted in dark, rich soils provide optimal conditions for this truly South African grape variety. Fermented on the skins for 4 days, pressed, pasteurized and bottled early. 100% Pinotage grapes with 30% of the blend having been oak-aged for 9 months. Concentrated, soft and oak-aged, this ultimate expression of South African Pinotage rewards the palate with a juicy blackberry finish. Pair with red meats, roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables.
Kosher. Kosher for Passover. Mevushal.
