Anura Reserve
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.

This Chardonnay shows an exciting medium straw colour with rich citrus and oak nuances. Barrel fermented in 30% new French oak gives the wine a toasted,creamy oak character all together in perfect harmony. Excellent length with a marmalade, almond, floral finish and a balanced, crisp, clean acidity. The result, a classic, rich and well balanced Chardonnay.
