Avondale
Our ethos Terra Est Vita meaning ‘Soil is Life’ encapsulates our view of Avondale Estate as a dynamic living system where soil water and energy; plants animals and people;even our buildings are part of a complex web of relationships and networks interconnected and interdependent. Premium Quality Wines– Our commitment to promoting life does not only lead to Mother Nature’s approval of our healthy balanced vineyard ecosystem; it also ensures the premium quality of Avondale’s unique naturally-made slow wines. The vigour of our well-tended vines leads to excellent grapes bursting with fresh flavours that are evident in our individually-styled classic wines so full of life and character. Certified Organic – Avondale is certified organic and we practice bio-dynamic agriculture; but we go beyond both these beneficial systems of natural farming by also using the best 21st Century science technology and knowledge to enhance sustainability. Enjoying Our Wines – When we despatch Avondale wines for worldwide distribution in select markets we hold the intention that they will play a role in enhancing healthy balance and affirming joy in the lives of those that take pleasure in them. We are mindful that whenever an Avondale wine is part of a family dinner or a celebration; an exciting gathering or a solitary interlude we are all connected in those moments by a shared love of life.
Description
Anima has a nose that develops intriguingly in the glass. Winter melon, pineapple, lime and a hint of honey confirm the elegance and fullness of this softly wooded, supple Chenin Blanc. The palate is dense with fresh fruit flavours of gooseberry, quince and peach, all harmonising superbly with the soulful minerality that gives this wine its name.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with seared Norwegian salmon and Tuscan-style roasted asparagus.
