Minerality

Produced from a section of a vineyard, which is situated on the highest point of L’Avenir. With constant wind, elevation and a longer ripening period, this vineyard is specifically managed to craft elegant and refreshing rosé. The 2020 vintage is considered as a highlight of the decade. With sufficient water, moderate temperatures and healthy, but balanced vigour, it was a vintage that delivered grapes with high natural acidity and concentrated flavours. The vintage was also characterised with very strong winds, however, vineyards on the Simonsberg slopes did not suffer any damage and benefited from cooling of the bunch zones.

L'Avenir

L’Avenir’s rich history dates back to the late 1600s when the estate was one of the very first sites identified for grape growing by the Cape’s earliest European settlers. The estate was renamed L’Avenir in 1992 by Mark Wiehe a Mauritian businessman who left a career of trading sugar in London to purchase the farm. This was the start of specialisation of this unique boutique winery. Wiehe appointed former pharmacist Francois Naude as winemaker and the estate swiftly gained recognition for its distinctive Pinotage and Chenin Blanc. In 2005 L’Avenir was acquired by the owner of the prestigious Chablis property Laroche Chablisien Michel Laroche.
