Description

Another consecutive dry and early vintage for Stellenbosch. L’Avenir’s wines have shown notable elegance, with silky tannins, delicate fruit flavours and lower alcohols. These wines are specifically drinking well at a younger age, but great balance and a fine tannin structure promise impressive ageing potential.

VINEYARD
A selection of the finest Pinotage vineyards on the northern slopes of L’Avenir Estate. Soil types include Glenrosa and Oakleaf – known for the production of magnificent Stellenbosch reds, with notable ageing potential.

VINIFICATION
Grapes were harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Each vineyard was individually vinified. Once the grapes were crushed, the mash was cooled and fermentation took place for 5-10 days at 26°C. Upon completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured in steel tanks, as well as 300-litre French barrels for 10 to 14 months, using a combination of new, second and third-fill French oak. The final blend was based on a meticulous barrel selection.
