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.

Matured in 80% French oak and 20% American oak 225 litre barrels. A selection of 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill barrels were used and the wine aged for 18 months before being racked before bottling.

Grapes all picked by hand and then sorted before crushing. Fermented in open top stainless tanks with regular punch downs and pump overs to maximise flavour and colour extraction from the skins. After pressing the wine was all sent to a combination of French and American oak barrels.
