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 Chenin Blanc has a charming aromatic profile, reminiscent of a sunlit orchard with floral and fruity elements. It exhibits a savory oak character on the palate, complemented by notes of vanilla, mineral undertones, and delicate touches of blossom. The wine is crafted to showcase precision and balance, with a mineral finish that lingers on the palate.
Food Pairing
This Chenin Blanc pairs well with rich seafood dishes, creamy poultry, and moderately spiced foods, balancing its complexity and minerality.
