Kosher Pinotage
Medium-bodied, the wine offers a kiss of sweetness across the palate, framed by energetic tannins that linger through the finish. This is actually one of the better Pinotages that I've had recently.
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
This barrel-matured wine exhibits notes of blackberry, fruitcake and hardened candy paired with a juicy mouth-feel and supple, sweet tannins.
Food Pairing
The perfect pairing to roast beef and potato kugel.
Winemaking Notes
Hedged VSP vines - planted in dark, rich soils of Oak leaf and weathered granite - provide optimal conditions for this truly South African grape variety. Fermented on the skins for 4 days, pressed, pasteurized and bottled early. This wine is prepared under supervision of the Cape Town Beth Din. It is Mevushal and Kosher for Passover.
