It's high time to taste this South African gem. We can hardly wait. We've been working with the L'Avenir winery for years, so our expectations are high for the latest vintage. Use your nose, and you'll immediately discover floral notes. A touch of rose and blossom. But smell again, and you'll smell ripe black fruit. Cherries, plums. Delicious on the nose. Our mouths are already watering just by smelling L'Avenir Stellenbosch Pinotage. We took a sip and were speechless for a moment. Refined flavors of cherries, blackberries, and chocolate swirl around in your mouth. You'll want another sip, and another. Until the bottle of L'Avenir Stellenbosch Pinotage is empty.
L'Avenir Stellenbosch Pinotage
L'Avenir's entry-level wine. Well, entry-level? That actually detracts from the quality of this L'Avenir Stellenbosch Pinotage. Because if this is the base wine, then the other L'Avenir wines must be absolutely perfect. This Pinotage has everything you'd expect from a Pinotage. Especially at this price! We don't say...

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
L'Avenir's entry-level wine. Well, entry-level? That actually detracts from the quality of this L'Avenir Stellenbosch Pinotage. Because if this is the base wine, then the other L'Avenir wines must be absolutely perfect. This Pinotage has everything you'd expect from a Pinotage. Especially at this price! We don't say it often, but this is truly a red wine that's actually too cheap. It's no wonder L'Avenir Stellenbosch Pinotage is this winery's best-selling red wine.
What defines the quality of this wine? We begin with the L'Avenir vineyards, which have been in their possession for over 300 years. During this time, they have invested in the vineyards and developed them into the finest in Stellenbosch. Close to the coast, they receive sufficient cooling from the Indian Ocean. Everything about L'Avenir Stellenbosch Pinotage is perfect. That's why this South African wine was awarded a whopping 8 out of 10 in the most recent edition of De Grote Hamersma! An excellent achievement for a wine in this price range.
