Backsberg in the Mail & Guardian

We got a nice mention in an article in the Mail and Guardian Online. In the article Climate countdown in the carbon kingdom, Richard Calland points to the need for an 'integrated vision for sustainable development'. Calland also suggests that 'visionary leadership' in the battle against climate change is a necessity.

We are mentioned in the following paragraph:

'Some companies are adapting fast. SABMiller is developing new business models for different markets and supply chains in Africa -- making an inexpensive yet safe sorghum-based beer, for instance. Backsberg in the Western Cape is now the first carbon neutral wine farm in South Africa and, in response to what it rightly perceives to be a shift in consumer attitudes in European markets, will proudly be able to label its bottles accordingly.'
