Rooted in heritage, reimagined for today 🚜🍷

Our Franschhoek tasting space is built around a piece of living history - a century-old tractor brought across from the original estate and now proudly at the heart of the experience. Surrounding it, vintage winemaking equipment from the Back family tells the story of generations past, creating a space that feels part tasting room, part museum.

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

“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.
