Smuggled Vines Chardonnay

R 1,080.00

The Family Tree honours the rich tapestry of people and places that were integral in the Backsberg legacy.


In 1976, father and son Michael and Sydney Back, in defiance of the authorities, smuggled some of the first Chardonnay buds into South Africa from Europe in a suitcase. This resulted in 60 000 Chardonnay vines.

In a toast to the duo’s tenacity, this Chardonnay boasts bold notes of citrus, marzipan and vanilla pod.
