Produced from a two section of Pinotage vineyards situated on the highest slopes of L’Avenir. With constant wind, elevation and a longer ripening period, these vineyards are specifically managed to craft elegant and refreshing rosé. The 2025 harvest began slightly later than previous years due to late winter rainfall, cooler nights, and a mild start to summer. These conditions allowed for slow, even ripening and contributed to excellent fruit quality. Grapes arrived at the cellar in optimal condition, with bright acidity, balanced sugar levels, and expressive aromatics. The vintage shows great promise, with wines expected to display clarity, finesse, and a strong sense of place - hallmarks of L’Avenir’s style and terroir.

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.
