Tanagra - Handcrafted limited release wines with character

Our Wines

We use traditional methods like natural yeast and whole berry fermentation to create handrafted wines typical of the terroir and microclimate of our farm at the border of the Klein Karoo.  The grapes are all harvested and selected by hand and the (red) wines are all wild-yeast and wholeberry fermented and matured at least 12 months in (neutral) French cask. These limited release wines are grown on the deep, red Karoo soils as nature intended, with minimal interference.

Our flagship wines are our Single Vineyard wines which come from the series of vineyards we named 'Trails of Tanagra', as they are situated along our farm trails: the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, and the Cabernet Franc (first vintage 2014). Our Carah  is a Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz blend. Unusual for the area is our Blanc de Noir, made from 100% Cabernet Franc -- crisp and dry, salmon colour and  with intense strawberry flavours.  Our Heavenly Chaos continues to be an ever popular, easy-drinking and somewhat lighter red-wine blend.

Delivery can be arranged nationwide in South Africa. Outside South Africa our wines are available at Wynkiste (Germany & Austria), Vin Africa (Europe), CTW (BeNeLux), Newton Wines (UK), Winecask (Namibia).
