More Information

In the cellar

Grapes were harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Each vineyard was individually vinified. Skin contact was limited to five hours. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at 12-14°C. 60% of the blending components were matured in stainless steel tanks on healthy fine lees, with regular lees stirring. The other 40% was matured in first to fourth fill French oak barrels, for nine months.

In the vineyard

The 2023 vintage benefited from ideal dry and moderate growing conditions. Low yields resulted in grapes of excellent quality, fruit intensity and good acidity. The vintage promises to deliver elegant wines with moderate to low alcohol and concentrated flavours. A selection of vineyards on the cooler south-western sites of L’Avenir Estate highly influenced by cool Atlantic breezes. Older vineyards of more than 40 years contribute to the depth of this wine.
