THE WINE
This wine somehow manages to walk the tightrope of being fresh and bold simultaneously. Generous but not punchy. Oaky but fruity.
Colombard, once widely planted for brandy production in South Africa, has recently found new life in the Western Cape as a crisp, expressive white wine grape. In regions like Robertson and the Swartland, winemakers are reimagining its potential, producing dry, low-intervention wines that showcase its natural acidity and zesty citrus profile. Often grown in older vineyards and on warmer inland sites, Colombard in the Cape delivers freshness and vibrancy, with notes of green apple, lime, and subtle tropical fruit. As part of the region’s broader movement toward site-expressive, minimal-intervention wines, Colombard is proving itself a versatile and increasingly respected variety in the Cape’s evolving wine landscape.
THE PEOPLE
Tanagra Wine & Guest Farm, nestled near McGregor in South Africa's Western Cape, is a boutique estate renowned for its handcrafted, environmentally friendly wines. Owned by Robert and Anette Rosenbach since 2009, the farm emphasizes minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. Their small, certified single-vineyard blocks are situated adjacent to the Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve, surrounded by wild fynbos and succulent Karoo, contributing to the wines' distinctive aromatic profiles.
THE PLACE
The wines of South Africa’s Western Cape are as diverse as the region’s dramatic landscapes, stretching from coastal vineyards cooled by ocean breezes to inland valleys with sun-drenched slopes. Home to renowned areas like Stellenbosch, Swartland, and Walker Bay, the Western Cape produces a wide range of styles—from elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to bold Syrah and structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Chenin Blanc, the country’s signature white grape, thrives here, often expressed in both fresh and richly textured styles. A growing natural wine movement and commitment to sustainable viticulture have further energized the region, making it one of the most exciting and dynamic wine-producing areas in the world today.
