Backsberg Klein Babylonstoren 2007

A specially crafted cuvee on the basis of varietal intensity and character. Violets, cassis and dried herb aromas form a complex bouquet hinting at the palate’s awaiting intensity. Flavours of blackberry and earthy forest floor elements are neatly meshed by fine, ripe fruit tannins that finishes dry, with oak derived characters of cinnamon and vanilla.

This blend matches classic evening meals such as roast beef and lamb.
