An elegant reference of Stellenbosch Pinotage. The L’Avenir Provenance Pinotage is medium-bodied, exhibiting a fine balance between fruit and spiciness, with a smooth and refined texture.

The 2019 vintage stands out in terms of freshnness and elegance. L’Avenir’s wines from this vintage boast natural acidity and crispness. Phenolic ripeness was attained at lower sugar levels resulting in wines with lower alcohol levels.

Ruby Red. Attractive notes of cherries and mulberries, complemented by the sweet spiciness that is typical to fine Pinotage.

Medium-bodied, with fine-grained, silky tannins. The palate is smooth and offers seductive notes of crushed pomegranate, juicy plums and black cherries. Refined and sophisticated, with a delicate balance, showcasing the finesse and restrained power of modern Pinotage.

In the cellar

Grapes were harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Each vineyard was individually vinified. Once the grapes were crushed, the mash was cooled and fermentation took place for 5-10 days at 24-26°C. Upon completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured in steel tanks, as well as 300 litre French barrels for 10 to 14 months, using a combination of new, second and third-fill French oak. The final blend was based on a meticulous barrel selection.
