Sydney Back Melot

The Sydney Back (formerly Backsberg) Kosher range celebrates the Lithuanian Jewish roots of the Back family. Endlessly easy to drink, there are no hard edges to this smooth Merlot that offers a bouquet of red berries and plum. Sun worshiping, open armed lyre trellised vines, ensure maximum fruit ripeness. Oakleaf and weathered granite soils ensure these vines are planted in soils rich in organic matter. Fermentation for 5 to 6 days with maturation in French oak for 12 months. A barrel-matured red, this wine is the perfect partner to braised short rib and lamb.
