ShelterBox - Backsberg

The Backsberg philosophy is providing pleasure and enjoyment of fine wines. We are also pleased if we can help communities in need.

We have initiated a programme in conjunction with The Rotary Club in Paarl, South Africa, in order to support ShelterBox. Backsberg is donating 10% of any funds it receives from wines sold through the Backsberg ShelterBox E-Store to support ShelterBox in aiding people in need. You can do this through the South African or European E-Store.

ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity, specialising in emergency shelter provision. Humanitarian aid is delivered in iconic green ShelterBoxes. Each one contain a disaster relief tent for an extended family, water purification equipment, a stove, blankets and other items essential for survival. Learn more about ShelterBox.

Backsberg Family Reserve Red 2005

This Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend came from low yielding, high density vineyards producing grapes with exceptional flavours of cassis, raspberry and tobacco. Extended skin contact and ageing in small French oak barriques have contributed added complexity via cedar and vanilla characters. Sheer fruit intensity and ample structure will allow this wine to gain further complexity in the bottle over the next ten years.
