Tanagra Wines

We produce an exclusive range of handpicked and handcrafted wines, with a focus on single-vineyard wines, typical for the fynbos-scented terroir here at the border of the Klein Karoo. Our vineyards are small blocks and more than 20 years old. They sit right next to Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve, surrounded by wild fynbos and succulent Karoo, and create highly aromatic wines.

Our wine-making philosophy is guided by the principle of ‘minimal interference’. We use traditional methods like natural yeasts (no enzymes added) and whole berry fermentation and mature our wines in neutral vessels. All this helps to retain the natural & distinct character of our single vineyard wines. As no animal based products are being used our wines are vegan-friendly. Likewise, our vineyard mangagement is minimally invasive – we are using as much as possible organic components like mulching, organic fertilizer and cover crop. Wine-maker in charge is Lourens van der Westhuizen.
