in the cellar : This sumptuous dessert-style wine is quite unique. The juice of Roussanne and Gewürztraminer grapes have been fortified with Backsberg’s signature Sydney Back Potstill Brandy. Double-distilled in small batches, and matured in Limousin oak barrels for several years, this wine is delightfully sweet.
