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.
Description
This rosé exhibits a pale pink hue with salmon highlights. The nose is fresh and aromatic, presenting notes of citrus and exotic tropical fruits. On the palate, it is indulgently fruity with suggestions of spice and minerality, leading to a smooth finish.
Food Pairing
The Glenrosé pairs well with cured meats, sautéed or fried preparations, and tapas, complementing its fresh and fruity character.
