Backsberg Elbar, 2005

Posted on September 3rd, 2007 by Ruarri

Anything associated with ‘Back’ be it Charles Back, Backsberg, Fairview, MAN Vintners or Senga Wines is tipped for greatness. I’m out of my league drinking such a wine, as it runs circles around my 5 year old palate being predominately Malbec, with lashings of Shiraz, a dollop of Mourvedre, essences of Sangiovese, a taste of Petit Verdot and smatterings of Zinfandel and Viognier. This wine is a melange of wine in one wine and thus is one to drink with intrigue and wonder, a wine of such integration is a symbol of the new South Africa and a pleasure to drink.

Elbar as described above and then there was Bella Rosa (dry rose’) and soon will be Aldorina (amazing white – still under wraps)- you read about it first at Grape Thinking!
