Tasting notes
The Backsberg Family Wines Plum Valley Merlot is a delicious, fruity red wine with a combination of raspberry-, plum- and oak aromas. It is made exclusively from Merlot grapes and aged in wooden barrels, which gives it a dry, balanced acidity and velvety tannins.
With its velvety texture and deep complexity, this wine is a true pleasure for all red wine lovers. A wine that pampers the senses and delights the palate.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
