Paired well with sushi, line fish, poultry and salads.

This wine fermented and aged for 10 months in 1st, 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels. Lees stirred up frequently throughout the maturation process for complex mouthfeel and flavour.

Fermentation initiated in oak barrels with a series of different commercial yeast cultures and natural/wild yeast. Temperatures were controlled with specially designed barrel cooling plates and the wine was kept on the lees for the whole barrel aging period.

Anura Vineyards is owned and run by Tymen, Jenny and Lance Bouma. Positioned on the foothills on the Simonsberg Mountains, Anura boasts a wide variety of soils, slopes and microclimates. This allows us to grow a wide selection of cultivars, some uncommon in South Africa, and also to match each cultivar with its ideal soil and microclimate. With each passing harvest we learn more about our soils and vineyards, and refine our vineyard and cellar practices in order to create the finest wines for our unique terroir. Our passion is red wine, and with plantings of Mourvédre, Petit Verdot, Grenache, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese and Malbec, among more classic, locally grown varietals, we aim to produce handcrafted wines for individuals who are looking for something unique and distinctive.
