Many moons ago, a weary traveller named Attila Balèbôs arrived at the Fairview cellar door on his unique three-wheeled motorcycle. Being an affable and hospitable man, Cyril Back (Charles’ late father) invited him to stay for a few days. Very quickly, Charles and Attila became friends, working the farm by day, and sharing life stories over wine and cheese by night. But one morning, Attila was gone, leaving only his rusting relic of his bike. To this day, the bike still stands silent on the Tasting Room stoep, and served as inspiration for our amazing La Capra range – fruit forward, single variety wines that celebrates youth, new friends, and easy drinking wine.

La Capra Chenin Blanc
A workhorse of grapes in South Africa, used in sparkling wine and brandy production, Chenin Blanc is a treasure that has become more fashionable in recent years. Inviting aromas of tropical fruit, pineapple and melon on the nose. Flavours of summer fruits and citrus, with
smooth texture and balanced acidity on the palate – absolutely delicious.
La Capra Sangiovese
Proudly presenting Sangiovese – an Italian grape variety that produces the finest wines in Italy and that’s why it’s perfectly suited for our warmer local climate. Soft tannins and refreshing acidity, with maraschino cherries red fruit enrobing the nose.
La Capra Sauvignon Blanc
All the fruity acidity you need, this light and easy drinking summer white offers good texture and a lingering citrus flavour. A very popular choice, for good reason too!
La Capra Merlot
This is the easy going, smooth jazz singer of wines. Bringing soft, ripe redcurrant fruits aromas and a smooth and integrated plum palate to the fore. A happy accompaniment to a pasta night.
La Capra Pinotage
Unique to South Africa, Pinotage is a wine of opulence and drinkability. A forthright wine, enjoy a sweet-berry nose and fruitiness with a gentle refreshing acidity. Firm tannins and a hint of vanilla that lingers on the finish.
