Tanagra Winery

Tanagra produce an exclusive range of handcrafted and environmentally friendly wines, typical for the fynbos-scented terroir at the border of the Klein Karoo in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Their vineyards are small blocks with a very low yield and more than 20 years old, all certified as 'Single Vineyards'. They sit right next to Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve, surrounded by wild fynbos (South African native herbal flora) and succulent Karoo, and create highly aromatic wines.

They use traditional methods like natural yeasts (no enzymes added) and whole berry fermentation and mature their wines in neutral vessels. All this helps to retain the natural & distinct character of the single vineyard wines. Likewise, the vineyard mangagement is minimally invasive – they use as much as possible organic components like mulching, compost, organic fertilizer and cover crop and don't use herbicides, helping to retain and nurture the old vineyards and the biodiversity of the farm.
