Meet Charlo - our Tasting Room Manager and the smile behind the ever-full glass 🍷

At Backsberg, wine becomes more than what is poured into a glass 🍷

It is moments shared, conversations opened and truths spoken freely around the table.

We look forward to welcoming you.

“Organised. Calm. Efficient.” 🍇

Backsberg winemaker Alicia reflects on the 2026 harvest as a season shaped by focus and steady intent - one that called for constant attention in both vineyard and cellar, met with care at every step.

In time, these wines will find their way from our cellar to your table, continuing a journey that began months earlier in the vines. For a winery now in its second century, that connection remains at the heart of everything we do.

From our family to yours.

Tradition, thoughtfully reimagined 🍷

Backsberg’s Unorthodox Kosher range honours the Back family’s Lithuanian Jewish heritage through a refined, modern lens. Certified by the Cape Town Beth Din and OU (USA), the wines are Mevushal, Kosher for Passover, and vegan.

The collection includes a vibrant Sauvignon Blanc and a rich, ruby-toned red.

Crafted for moments that call for something exceptional 🍷

The Patriarch is produced exclusively in exceptional vintages, selected from the very best Cabernet Franc vineyard blocks. With vibrant ruby depth and layered notes of blackcurrant, plum, violet and cedar, it finishes with refined elegance and a dry, polished edge.

Long weekends call for something special....

Our dry Ella Pinotage Rosé brings together the bold character of Pinotage with the delicate purity of rosé — revealing vibrant notes of wild strawberries, fresh mint and a hint of grapefruit zest.
