The Family Tree honours the rich tapestry of people and places that were integral in the Backsberg legacy. John Martin dedicated over 40 years of his career as Sydney Back's beloved farm manager. This classic, Bordeaux-style red blend pays tribute to his balanced and bold approach to life.
Highly concentrated, intensely favoured grapes from each of the four Bordeaux varietals were hand selected. After six months of individual maturation, careful consideration was taken to ensure the ideal blend. Co-maturation ensued for a further 12 months in 25% new as well second and third fill 300 French oak barrels.
Stewed plum, cigar box, musk and honey on the nose followed by concentrated avours of black forest berries, cedar and vanilla on the palate. This wine is a true all-rounder - just like John.
