Backsberg Fifth Generation Four Pillars Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

In honour of generations past and present, this Cabernet Sauvignon is strong and structured like the pillars themselves, with an enticing bouquet of blackcurrant, wood shavings and lavender scents.

A classic Cab that will complement all meals when a fine red wine is called for, or to end off an evening with rich cheeses.

Backsberg celebrates five generations of winemaking heritage. Each of the four pillars represents a generation of the Back family who helped build Backsberg into what it is today.
in the vineyard : A combination of newer and older hedged VSP vines, planted in rich weathered granite soils.
in the cellar : Cool-crushed and cold-soaked for a few days prior to fermentation. During fermentation, aerated pump-overs four times a day further aid in the gentle extraction of colour and tannin. Post-fermentation skin contact and 18 months of oak aging produce a wine that is bold in structure with sufficient weight on the mid-palate.
