Hearty red meat dishes

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.

Wine matured in French oak for 20 months using 1st, 2nd & 3rd fill barrels. 40% new oak, rest in 2nd and 3rd fill.

Fermentation initiated in small open-top stainless steel tanks with 20% of the total crush fermenting naturally and the balance inoculated with commercial yeast. Kept on the skins as long as possible after fermentation for further flavour extraction and development.
