More Information

In the cellar

Grapes were harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Each vineyard was individually vinified. Once the grapes were crushed, cold maceration took place for three days followed by fermentation at 24-26°C for 5-10 days. Upon completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured in steel tanks, as well as 225 and 300 litre French barrels for 18 months, using a combination of new, second and third-fill French oak. The final blend was based on a meticulous barrel selection.

In the vineyard

The 2022 vintage kick-started with ideal Winter conditions. Late rains contributed to even growth providing an excellent foundation for the crop. The season was cool with moderate weather conditions during harvest, slowing down ripening and allowing the vines to develop impressive fruit intensity. The vintage promises to deliver elegant wines with moderate to low alcohol, a fine tannin structure and concentrated flavours. A selection of the finest Pinotage vineyards on the northern and western slopes of L’Avenir Estate. Soil types include Glenrosa and Oakleaf - known for the production of magnificent Stellenbosch reds, with notable ageing potential.
