The philosophy of Backsberg remains that of providing pleasure and enjoyment to a broad range of wine lovers by producing wines not only with structure and finesse, but also with a high level of “drinkability”.
Backsberg currently has around 80 hectares under vineyard and additional satellite vineyards in two other areas. The vineyards are located along the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountains, mid way between Paarl and Stellenbosch and 40 minutes from Cape Town.
The area is blessed with a wonderful climate; full sunny days in the summer and cold wet days in the winter, a great location to grow wine.
