Tasting notes
The Blueberry Row Pinotage from Backsberg Family Wines is a dry, full-bodied, and fruity red wine made exclusively from the Pinotage grape. The grapes are sourced from selected vineyards in the Paarl region of South Africa and are handpicked and carefully selected.
The wine has a deep ruby red color with violet reflections and exudes intense aromas of coffee, blueberry, and cinnamon, accompanied by notes of spices and chocolate.
The aging in wooden barrels gives the wine a subtle oak note that further enhances its fruity character.
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.
