Manley Wine Estate- A young wine estate, making its mark.

A boutique wine estate, with a short history yet producing outstanding wines. Manley Wine Estate was bought as a working dairy, sheep and guest farm by David Manley Jordan in June 1996. Manley wine estate later upgraded the guest house, a new dam and of course, a few vines.

A little about Manley Wine Estate

Whereas Tulbagh gained its name from Rijk Tulbagh who was governor of the Cape between 1751 and 1771, Manley Wine Estate, was bought as a working dairy, sheep and guest farm by David Manley Jordan in June 1996, who named the farm.

Manley has very poor shale soil, which reduces the yield and results in a smaller grape berry. This may be bad for fruit farming in the valley, but for vines, relates to a better proportion of skin to juice. The wines, therefore, have great depth and subtle to robust tannins. Uniquely, the estate has used Hungarian and German oaks for their wine barrels.

Manley Wine Estate gives you the feeling that you’re enjoying fine wine with friends and family.
