Backsberg Klein Babylonstoren 2002

Fairbairn Capital Trophy Wine Show 2005 - Bronze
Silver - International Wine and Spirits Competition ( IWSC ) 2005
Klein Babylons Toren is a specially crafted cuvée on the basis of varietal intensity and character. Violets, cassis and dried herb aromas from 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. Rich yet structured, this wine will repay careful cellaring over the next ten years. Oaked: 12 months .

This Bordeaux inspired blend matches classic evening meals such as roast beef or lamb.
