Wines produced include Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Pinotage Rosé, Rosé, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and selected blends.

Backsberg’s tasting centre offers a selection of sweet and savoury pairings, with platters available during the summer months. Booking is advised.
