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.

Spring has arrived, bringing longer days and more time to savour the outdoors with a glass of w**e in hand.

We’re honoured to be part of the adventures, shared moments and simple pleasures that call for a “cheers”.

Here’s to a new season and plenty of reasons to raise a glass. Happy Spring!

The best way to see out winter? With a good bottle open and nowhere else to be.

Settle in beside the fire at Backsberg and make an afternoon of it - taste your way through our w**es, linger over something delicious and enjoy those final cosy days before the season begins to turn.

Because sometimes, all you really need is a warm seat, a generous pour and good company.

We’ll see you in Franschhoek this weekend.

Enhance your tasting experience with thoughtfully crafted pairings and light bites that celebrate the flavours of the Cape.

A taste of place, designed to be savoured alongside every glass.

Women’s Month celebrations continue, and so does our appreciation for our very own Alicia.

With care in every detail and consistency through every season, she walks the vines with patience and purpose, knowing that great w**es begin long before the cellar.

“For me, it stays the same: to respect the fruit and the vineyard. Where it comes from becomes my responsibility.”

Born from the granite slopes of the Helderberg, The Patriarch is a w**e of rare character.

Nourished by weathered soils and sunshine, and cooled by False Bay breezes, the vines ripen slowly, developing remarkable depth and elegance.

Crafted in honour of Sydney Back’s legacy, The Patriarch is produced only in exceptional vintages - a w**e of heart, soul and unmistakable presence.

Looking for a reason to step away from the everyday?

Set your sights on Franschhoek and discover the Backsberg’s Cellar Door, where our full portfolio of w**es can be enjoyed against sweeping views of the Mont Rochelle Mountain Range.

Steeped in heritage, the space is home to vintage w**emaking equipment from the Back family collection, offering a glimpse into the legacy that continues to shape Backsberg today.

Winter may be drawing to a close, but with our fires still lit, there’s no better time to settle in with a glass of something exceptional.

Our Patriarch Cabernet Franc is reserved for only the finest vintages and crafted from our very best vineyard blocks. Elegant and expressive, it reveals layers of blackcurrant, plum, violets and cedar, culminating in a beautifully refined, dry finish.

Join us for a tasting, or if The Patriarch already has a place in your cellar, shop yours via the link in bio.
