The Pumphouse, located high up on the Backwsberg property, is a humble concrete structure which plays an imperative role in day-to-day activities. The building epitomises Backsberg's approach to winemaking, unassuming but extraordinary.
Deep violet-ruby colour, floral, smoky, prune, black olive and spice aromes. Medium- to full-bodied with rich dark berry flavours and a long finish.
