Tasting Notes

Beautiful bright burgundy in the glass. The nose is intense with dark berries and plums, a hint of liquorice and warm oak spices. A rich palate, dark fruit and firm powdery tannins make for a full-bodied palate that will age well over the next couple of years. Elegant, bold yet accessible. Ageing potential of 8 – 10 years under good cellaring conditions.

More details

The fruit for Cyril Back 2022 is selected from our best sites of the vintage. A mild vintage, with no heat waves made for great flavours and optimal ripening conditions. The Shiraz for this vintage was selected from a cool, dryland bush vine site in Darling and from our spiciest Paarl site. This year, the classic staple Cabernet Sauvignon from Stellenbosch also made the cut. The vineyards are regularly visited during the ripening period and tested by tasting, visual and analytical examination to determine the ideal picking date.
