The Backsberg Merlot has a ruby red color.

It has a pungent bouquet of raspberries and plums, which is enhanced by the skillful use of French oak.

This South African wine is recommended with red meat, especially lamb dishes. Enjoy this Backsberg Merlot also with duck, pasta and mint desserts.

Backsberg

Das Weingut Backsberg liegt am Fuße des malerischen Simonsberg und bietet einen atemberaubenden Ausblick auf die umliegenden Weinfarmen. Die wunderschöne Landschaft des Gutes liegt zwischen den beiden weltberühmten Anbauregionen Paarl und Stellenbosch in Südafrika. Backsberg wird von Beginn an von der Familie Back geführt. Alle Generationen haben ausgezeichnete Weine in außergewöhnlicher Qualität hervorgebracht. Die heutige Farm wurde bereits im Jahr 1916 gegründet. Die Produktion von eigenem Wein begann 1970.

Backsberg zählt zu einem der ersten Weingüter in Südafrika und zu den ganz wenigen weltweit, die auf nachhaltige Anbaumethoden setzen. Das Weingut produziert Co2-neutral und engagiert sich auch entsprechend in der Aufforstung und Bepflanzung von in Südafrika beheimateten Pflanzen- und Baumarten.

Das Weingut hat 130 Hektar Rebfläche die vorwiegend mit den Rebsorten Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz und Chardonnay bepflanzt werden. Seit 2008 ist Winzer Guillaume Nell bei Backsberg für die verschiedenen Weinlinien verantwortlich. Mehrfach wurden die Weine von Backsberg ausgezeichnet. Vom New Yorker Magazin Wine & Spirits wurde das Weingut unter die 100 besten Weingüter des Jahres gewählt. Backsberg verfügt auch über ein eigenes, sehr lohnenswertes Restaurant in der wunderschönen Anlage.
