Backsberg Klein Babylonstoren 2001

The rich coffee and chocolate flavours of the Cabernet blends perfectly with the vanilla toffee of the Merlot. A small amount of Petit Verdot adds intense blueberry fruit flavours. The wine is rich and full with a sweet roundness, with firm but supple, velvety tannins. The flagship of the range and in a style that will fit any occasion.
