"We have a time to visit McGregor!" It was the wife's words the first time we Greyton, sea side mount visited. We almost during that visit to the trail McGregor tackled, but left because we were not sure how far and how tough it was. But I promised that one day we a turn will make debt and promise! vegas insider
We tried at least once a month a weekend vegas insider getaway fit, always at a different place, and a visit to an area somewhere in the Cape winelands, and when November comes and I do not have a weekend planned, then I thought at my selwers: "But then it's time for wine McGregor", and I kill two birds with one stone is senseless vegas insider because McGregor's part of the Robertson Wine Valley vegas insider and then I can just wine a wynreisartikel do. So said and thought, so made!
We metaalmetgesel for visiting vegas insider the McGregor Valley was a station wagon with all the rules, Honda's lean and elegant Accord Tourer 2.2i-DTEC Executive (read impressions below). And before I forget, except for McGregor Wines falls all the wineries in this valley in the garagiste / boutique category and it is necessary to call in advance.
Incidentally, there are nine wineries in the valley where the Little Karoo and Boland vegas insider walking hand in hand. Looking at the hills and the Karoo-like vegetation look, do you expect any time a sheep or ostrich to see, but lower your eyes just a little bit and the lush valley gasp! And the majestic Langeberg keep an eye on everything.
In Robertson, just past the station if you Worcester's side come, take the road on your right and the railway vegas insider line in the McGregor valley. Our first visit was hardly a katspoeg outside Robertson, namely to Wonderfontein (part of Long Mountain vegas insider Winery) where the Marais family for five generations farmer and three generations of wine making ... on a small scale.

Although most grapes to large wineries delivered, he so quietly and quite on his own a few nice wines, so on the right, true garagiste way.
Although he has no formal training in winemaking, he has his good ears lent, including Jacques Conradie Karusa. All four of the wines I tasted here, the impression of the 2010 - Sauvignon vegas insider Blanc and the 2007 - Shiraz and 2006 - and 2007 - Cabernet Sauvignon. In fact, American friends a week later a bottle of that in 2006 - about cab devour! And they are quite fussy.

The 2010 - Tanagra Rosé, made from cabernet franc grapes, is Robert's first vintage at this guest post, and if it is an indication of the quality delivered here, go Tanagra much known.
