Backsberg Estate Cellars is a family-owned wine estate located in South Africa's Western Cape, nestled between Paarl and Stellenbosch. The winery has a long history, dating back to 1916, when Charles Back purchased the farm. Today, Backsberg is recognized for its commitment to sustainability, family heritage, and producing high-quality wines.
Meticulously matured and crafted using traditional cognac-style methods, this brandy is not only a testament to the craftsmanship of Sydney Back but also a nod to its pioneering spirit in the South African brandy landscape. It's best enjoyed neat or with just a drop of water to fully appreciate its intricate flavors and aromas.
