Tanagra is a wine farm & winery devoted to a 'natural' way of winemaking (handpicking, whole berry and wild yeast fermentation) and to nature conservation - we are part of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI), which certifies environmentally responsible farming and wine-making.

Winery

Our focus is on single vineyard wines, typical of the fynbos dominated terroir at Tanagra, where blocks are embedded within the vegetation and landscape of indigeneous succulent Karoo.

 Our flagships are a Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Carah (a new-world blend between Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz). We also produce, in very limited numbers, some very unusual, dry Cabernet Franc Blanc de Noir, and our ever popular house wine, the Heavenly Chaos (a Merlot-led blend).

Distillery

At Tanagra we distill stylish Grappa & Eau de Vie in a special still (combined potstill & column still) brought from Germany. Our vision is to produce unique handcrafted top quality spirits with local grapes & fruits and German technology & know-how.

Our range includes various single-variety Grappa (distilled from pressed grape skins), some of them oak-matured, an Eau de Vie de Lie (distilled from wine lees) and various fruit Eau de Vie (apricot, peach, quince, and lemon).

Robert & Anette would like to welcome you for a personal wine and grappa tasting (free of charge) at Tanagra. They are usually open from 10h00 - 17h00 for tastings but please call to make sure that somebody is around.

Tanagra also provides accommodation in various farm cottages. Please see our accommodation page on the McGregor Village site: Tanagra Wine and Guest Farm Tourist Accommodation..
