Manley is a working, award-winning wine farm offering guests the opportunity to stay, enjoy fine wines, eat well and relax all year round in some of the most beautiful scenery in the Western Cape.
Manley's philosophy is all about growing the best grapes and therefore making the best possible wines. With a little over 7 ha under vines the estate is on a relatively small scale but a detailed and concentrated labour of love. Annually they produce around 35,000 to 40,000 bottles of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Merlot and, new for 2009, a Merlot/ Cabernet Sauvignon blend.
Tulbagh was originally a relatively small, white wine producing region. It was regarded by many as the lesser cousin to the more established areas of Stellenbosch and Paarl. All that changed on September 29th 1969 when an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale virtually levelled the town. It was rebuilt in the faithful style you see today and with its rebirth came a new determination in the people of the town.
Fast forward to 1999 when Dave (Manley) Jordan along with some of the other local producers established the very first of the new farms to plant red wine grapes.
Today Tulbagh is no longer in the shadows. It has become highly regarded, in South Africa and abroad, emerging as a wonderful boutique region, one producing some of the most significant red wines in the Cape.
