About the Takamaka Winery

Takamaka Boutique Winery was born of the conviction of a passionate winemaker, Alexander Oxenham, the only oenologist on the island, who took up the challenge of producing wine from lychees.

He was inspired by the long-standing tradition in Mauritius of producing alcoholic beverages from tropical fruits growing on the island. By creating the only winery in Mauritius dedicated exclusively to the production of lychee wines, Alexander Oxenham wanted to write the art of winemaking differently : with a lot of audacity, some technical know-how and a great amount of fun.

Mr Alexander is a proud producer of wine with a portfolio of skilfully designed local wines, full of great character. The lychee wine at Takamaka is made from the pulp of fruits which have been picked, peeled and deseeded and then left to ferment for up to three weeks.

More about the Takamaka Boutique Winery

TAKAMAKA BOUTIQUE WINERY's wines have received prestigious recognition at renowned international wine competitions in 2023, including the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge and the London Wine Competition. In the highly esteemed 2023 Edition of the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge, three of TAKAMAKA BOUTIQUE WINERY's cuvées stood out and were each awarded the gold medal. These exceptional wines include Tanara, a meticulously crafted dry lychee white aged in barrels, Aquarel, an enticing off-dry lychee wine, and Eclipse, a sumptuous sweet lychee wine.
