ageing : Best enjoyed within 5 to 7 years.

Backsberg celebrates five generations of winemaking heritage. Over the last 100 years, the family’s farming activities have gone through many iterations - including top-grade blueberries. While today the focus is wine, the family still farm juicy blueberries nearby.
in the cellar : Due to its thick and tannic skin, colour is extracted from the Pinotage grapes within the first couple of days of fermentation. Early pressed, immediate oaking and bottled12 months later, this Pinotage is true to its varietal character.
