Tygerberg
Tygerberg, once a Wine District on Cape Town's northern fringe in South Africa's Western Cape, basks in a maritime-influenced climate, yielding vibrant, flinty Sauvignon Blanc. Its close proximity to the ocean ensures cool breezes, ideal for crafting refreshing whites. In 2017, its legal standing evolved with the creation of the Cape Town wine district, marking a transition while preserving its viticultural legacy. Though no longer a distinct entity, Tygerberg's reputation endures through its wines, a testament to the region's unique terroir and the dedication of its winemakers.
The main grape varieties grown in the Tygerberg region include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Shiraz. The region is known for producing crisp, refreshing white wines and full-bodied, complex red wines.
