Why it's worth your time
If you make the detour to Tulbagh, this is the estate to come for. The Prologue and the Seismic reds are well-regarded; the cellar is modern and the welcome is real.
What we love
The Prologue red — the entry-level bottle that drinks well above its price.
What to know
Established in 2002 on a historic Tulbagh farm; the Seismic and Full Circle reds are among the most-awarded in a valley few tourists reach.
