One for the summer shopping list…

Delicate, fresh and effortlessly elegant, Ella is the perfect Pinotage Rosé to welcome the warmer days ahead.

With vibrant notes of wild strawberries, mint and grapefruit, this dry rosé brings together the character of Pinotage with the refreshing purity of rosé - made for chilled pours, Mediterranean platters and leisurely lunches in the sunshine.

This Heritage Day, we celebrate the land, the legacy and the people who continue to shape our story.

Today, we continue to honour those roots, care for the land and craft w**es that reflect our enduring connection to this remarkable country.

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa.

For those planning to bring out the “big guns” this Braai Day, Charlo, our Tasting Room Manager, has just the bottle in mind...

His choice? The Patriarch - recently awarded its second consecutive Decanter Platinum, reinforcing its standing on the global stage as one of South Africa’s benchmark Cabernet Francs.

A tribute to Sydney Back’s legacy, this exceptional w**e is crafted only in the finest vintages from select vineyard blocks, with the depth, structure and character worthy of a truly special occasion.

15/09/2026

Warm welcomes, abundant platters and generous pours - these are the foundations of hospitality at Backsberg.

Our Cellar Door is more than a place to enjoy w**e; it’s a space to feel at home, discover our story and create memories around the table that linger long after the last glass.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Some stories are rooted in the soil long before they reach the glass...

Smuggled Vines Chardonnay, part of our Family Tree Collection, pays tribute to Michael and Sydney Back, whose bold decision in 1976 to bring some of South Africa’s first Chardonnay buds into the country helped lay the foundation for generations of w**emaking.

Even the rocks beneath the vines carry the legacy - the same vineyard stones that have surrounded and nurtured them for decades.

Golden-hued with notes of honeyed apple, cashew and butterscotch, this is a Chardonnay with heritage and heart.

P.S. Consider this your final reminder to join us this weekend at the Chardonnay Festival. 🥂

The greatest gift we can give is time.

In a world that moves faster than ever, there’s something special about slowing down - reconnecting over a shared bottle, reminiscing about cherished moments and enjoying the simple pleasure of unhurried conversation.

And for those who couldn’t join you at our Cellar Door, take home a few favourite finds to share - a little piece of Backsberg to enjoy long after your visit.
