Modern South African wine

line separator

Charles Back is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern South African wine. Through Fairview and Spice Route, he has played a defining role in shaping the Swartland and Western Cape into globally respected wine regions.

His approach has consistently pushed boundaries—championing climate-appropriate varieties, unlocking the potential of overlooked regions, refining vineyard practices, and leading the revival of old vines. In recognition of his impact, he received the International Wine Challenge Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014 at the age of just 58.

A Legacy of Excellence

In April 2006, South African WINE Magazine voted Back the second most influential person in the South African wine industry, after Nelson Mandela.

Along with WIETA certification (ethical labour standard) across all wines and sustainability certifications (IPW, BWI), Fairview is also Fairtrade Certified.
