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
Crisp, fresh and inviting, this dazzling Cap Classique is elegant, complex and made to satisfy. Appearance: A vibrant, clear sunset pink that will evolve into light onion-skin over time. Nose: The nose shows grapefruit and lemon, bruised apple as well as typical notes of brioche, pastry and dough. Palate: Medium-bodied with lively acidity. A delicate and creamy mousse gives a rounded mouthfeel with flavours of lemon, pomegranate and ginger biscuits.
Food Pairing
A canapés best friend! This sparkling rosé is the perfect match for smoked salmon, as well as parma ham.
