The L'Avenir vineyard is spread throughout Stellenbosch, boasting a presence in all its beautiful locations. The Pinotage grape is the most widely planted variety in these vineyards. This perfect location gives the grapes fantastic quality, partly due to the influence of the ocean. The Indian Ocean lies less than 20 kilometers away. The Pinotage grapes benefit most from this at night, when a gentle sea breeze blows through the vineyards.
