Backsberg Description
A bright and vibrant ruby with cherry tonality in appearance. Expect typical dry, tea-leaf Cabernet Franc notes, gooseberry, dusty cedar, blackcurrant, plum and violets on the nose. Expect a clean, dry finish. The ideal partner to roast pork, turkey with cranberry sauce, roasted cherry duck and ripe cheeses.
These Cabernet Franc grapes are grown on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain where the vines are nourished by abundant sunlight, rich weathered granite soils and cool False Bay sea breezes that funnel in through the valley. The vines are slow to ripen, encouraging flavour development and ideal varietal character.
The Patriarch commemorates the legacy of the iconic Sydney Back: an incredible father, grandfather, winemaker, businessman, philanthropist and industry pioneer. Much like Sydney, this wine has real punch, heart and soul, and is only produced in exceptional vintages from the very best vineyard blocks.
