From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The absolute crown jewel of the L'Avenir winery. And perhaps the best Chenin Blanc in Stellenbosch. In fact, in all of South Africa. A masterpiece from L'Avenir's cellar master. Over the past three decades, this winery has specialized in Pinotage and Chenin Blanc. The Chenin Blanc, in particular, is renowned worldwide. We're certain: This L'Avenir Single Block Chenin Blanc will become your new favorite wine!

The name of this white wine from South Africa is derived from the vineyards where the grapes are grown. Chenin Blanc is grown on a vineyard of just 2 hectares. This vineyard is also one of the oldest where Chenin Blanc is grown. Since 1976, a superb harvest of Chenin Blanc grapes has been harvested annually here. Due to their age, the grapes are of exceptional quality, a quality you won't find anywhere else in Stellenbosch or the rest of South Africa.

We always get so excited about L'Avenir, and especially this Single Block Chenin Blanc. Every year, when we get to taste the new vintage of this wine, we're overjoyed. We look forward to this moment. The most recent vintage is at least as good as all the previous ones. Truly the best Chenin Blanc from South Africa. And you can order it at perfectewijn.nl. The aroma is overwhelming, thanks in part to the 12 months of oak that L'Avenir Single Block Chenin Blanc has undergone. Hints of apricot, pear, pineapple, and citrus blend beautifully on the nose. This L'Avenir Single Block Chenin Blanc will leave you thirsty and hungry. This wine is a sensation for your taste buds. Rich and refined. Nuances of peach, melon, and pineapple, combined with notes of yellow apple and lime, make it an irresistible glass of wine! The pride of South Africa!
