About

The Backsberg story is both ancient and modern, a cultivated pairing of heritage and care. As a winery of over 100 years, Backsberg Family Wines celebrates a pioneering spirit that has led to four generations of proud South African Jewish family ownership. And now a new era, our fifth, and oh what a pioneering one yet.

Product Features

• The fruit is from both younger vines, that drive the fruit profile, and low-yielding older vineyards that provides a very finely structured backbone.
• These vines have been planted in sandy clay-loam soils.
• 50% of the blend is fermented in 225L new French aak barrels for four months.
• Thereafter, aging on the lees for a further four months contributes to the full-bodied nature and creamy texture of this wine.
• Best enjoyed within 6 years, although further ageing can yield a beautifully complex and interesting wine.
• Lightly oaked and aromatic, be charmed by notes of cashew, cream and bright citrus.
• In a toast to the duo’s tenacity, this Chardonnay boasts bold notes of citrus, marzipan and vanilla pod.
• This flavour-filled wine ideally matches seafood and cream-based pasta dishes.
