Kosher Brut MCC
The palate is lively and brisk in feel, with medium acidity and an enduring note of melon rind on the finish.
Light-bodied and fresh-tasting, with notes of lime and ginger joined by hints of cream in the background. The finish is marked by a streak of sea salt.
Backsberg’s Kosher range celebrates the Lithuanian Jewish roots of the Back family. Made under the auspices of the Cape Town Beth Din and the OU of the United States, this wine is Mevushal and Kosher for Passover.
Certified carbon neutral. Sustainably farmed. Suitable for vegans.

Tasting Notes
Carefully crafted from hand-picked Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, Backsberg’s Kosher Brut MCC is the first of its kind in South Africa. Expect a lively and extremely fine mousse with delicate fruit flavours and a leesy backbone.
Food Pairing
Excellent to enjoy with everything from starters to desserts. A festive wine for momentous occasions.
Winemaking Notes
Trellised VSP vines provide the optimal conditions for this delicate Méthode Cap Classique. Grapes are picked relatively early at 18.5 degree Balling. They are then crushed, chilled and pressed ever so lightly. Prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the juice is pasteurized. It is then allowed to settle and clear, followed by disgorging. This product is Mevushal and Kosher for Passover.
