McGregor winery introduction to Lifestyle wines.
The small village of Mcgregor and the vineyards surrounding it are situated at the foothills of the Riviersonderend Mountains.
The rural area surrounding the village is characterised by a rugged landscape and a variety of fauna and striking flora just waiting to be discovered. In between the inspiring landscape lie the most prized vineyards exposed to the unique climate of the Mcgregor area.
The vineyards are grown in 3 different river valleys – each of these delivering unique flavour profiles in the wine. The average age of the vineyards are about 15 years old with the average yield between 10 and 12 tons per hectare. McGregor Winery was established in 1948, thus it has been in existence for more than 70 years. It has 22 producers, each with vineyards planted to suit their unique terroir. Making over 10 million litres per annum, Mcgregor is definitely a serious player in the broader region. Being the only big scale winery in the Mcgregor Wine of Origin scheme, it is the only winery able to commercially produce wines for a large market segment.
Wines made from the McGregor area have an unforgettable charm; and it is with this in mind that the Mcgregor range of LIFESTYLE WINES was inspired. Each wine is crafted to reflect Mcgregor’s wild nature in its flavours.
