The Sydney Back Kosher Collection
Crafted with care and rooted in family tradition, Sydney Back is a standout producer of kosher wines from South Africa’s renowned Paarl region. Named after a key figure in the Back family's winemaking legacy, the label reflects a seamless blend of heritage and modern craftsmanship. With a focus on varietal expression and quality, their portfolio includes a vibrant unoaked Chardonnay, a supple Merlot, and a characterful Pinotage—each offering a refined take on kosher winemaking that speaks to authenticity and intention.
Taxes included.
Sydney Back Pinotage Kosher 2022
This red showcases South Africa’s signature grape—Pinotage—in a soft, fruit-forward expression. The 2022 vintage offers juicy blackberry flavours, with a smooth texture and subtle oak influence, making it easy to enjoy on its own or alongside food. Produced using traditional methods with a focus on ripe, clean fruit, this wine reflects the varietal’s character while remaining accessible and balanced. Serve it with roasted meats or hearty vegetable dishes.
$21.95/btl - Available through LCBO Vintages
Sydney Back Merlot 2022
Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, this Merlot combines a plush fruit core with gentle tannins and refined structure. The nose and palate focus on red berries and plum, with the oak aging contributing added depth and complexity. The wine remains smooth and polished, with enough richness to pair comfortably with savoury dishes like braised short ribs, lamb, or mushroom-based entrees. Its versatility and easy-drinking style make it a standout in the range.
$21.95/btl - Available through LCBO Vintages
Sydney Back Chardonnay Kosher 2023
Crafted in a fresh, unoaked style, the 2023 Chardonnay offers a clean and vibrant expression of the grape. Notes of lemon zest, melon, and a hint of hazelnut give the wine brightness and subtle complexity. With its crisp acidity and medium body, it’s an excellent pairing for grilled fish, chicken, or lighter vegetarian fare. The wine is designed to highlight the natural fruit character of Chardonnay without the influence of oak, resulting in a refreshing and food-friendly white.
$19.95/btl - Available through LCBO Vintages
