Tanagra Cabernet Franc Single Vineyard 2020
Cabernet Franc
Description
Tanagra Winery & Guest Farm is a small, artisanal producer nestled in McGregor, surrounded by wild fynbos and the Klein Karoo’s distinctive landscape. Vineyards are kept in modest blocks with low yields and minimal intervention - natural yeast fermentations, whole-berry techniques and thoughtful use of oak allow the vineyard’s character to shine. The Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc is a showcase of this hands-on philosophy: pure varietal expression tempered by gentle French oak support, revealing not just fruit but a clear sense of place from the Breede River Valley.
Colour: Bright, medium ruby with an inviting translucent edge in the glass.
Nose: Aromas open with dark berry notes of cassis and plum, underscored by subtle spice and a hint of green herbaceousness that keeps the profile lively.
Palate: Medium-bodied with a juicy core of red and dark fruit flavours - think blackcurrant and ripe red cherry - framed by gentle tannins and a touch of oak spice from 14 months’ maturation. Natural yeast fermentation and whole-berry handling add complexity without heaviness.
Finish: The finish is clean and poised, with lingering fruit notes and a whisper of savoury herbal nuance that invites another sip.

Tanagra Cabernet Franc Single Vineyard 2020
- Food Pairing : Tanagra Cabernet Franc Single Vineyard 2020 pairs wonderfully with earthy, robust dishes that echo its savoury and red-fruit profile. Try it with grilled rosemary-seasoned lamb chops or a slow-braised beef brisket, where the wine’s acidity and spice frame richer flavours. It also matches beautifully with mushroom-risotto or roast duck, where herbaceous and fruity elements are highlighted. For cheese boards, offer aged cheddar or gouda to complement the wine’s texture and fruit depth.
- Drink before: Enjoy now through 2027. Its medium-bodied structure and oak maturation suggest short-term ageing will integrate flavours and soften tannins.
