GlenRosé

The GlenRosé pairs beautifully with delicate dishes such as salmon sashimi or grilled lobster, complementing the wine's elegance and acidity.

The GlenRosé is crafted from L'Avenir's Block 2 vineyard, situated at the estate's highest elevation. This site benefits from constant wind and a longer ripening period, conditions that are meticulously managed to produce an elegant and refreshing rosé.

A portion of the wine (15%) undergoes maturation in large French oak barrels for two months, contributing to its finely balanced and textured profile.

Hand-harvested grapes are processed to use only free-run juice, with skin contact times determined for each batch. Approximately 15% of the wine is matured in large French oak barrels for two months, enhancing its texture and complexity.

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.
