The Backsberg Family Wines Pumphouse Shiraz is a powerful and aromatic red wine. This South African wine is produced by the renowned Backsberg Family Wines Estate Cellars and is made from the Shiraz grape, which is also known as Syrah. The Shiraz grape is known for its dark color, spicy aromas, and robust structure.
When smelling the wine, intense aromas of ripe black fruits such as black cherries and blackberries unfold. Spicy notes like black pepper, cloves, and cedarwood accompany the fruit aromas, adding complexity and depth to the wine.
When drinking, the wine presents itself as full-bodied and rich, with soft tannins that support the ripe fruit aromas and give the wine a pleasant structure. The Backsberg Family Wines Pumphouse Shiraz has a well-integrated acidity that keeps the wine lively and fresh.
The finish of the wine is long-lasting and leaves an aftertaste of dark fruits and spices.

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.
