Vinifikation
Another consecutive dry vintage for Stellenbosch, with an early harvest. L'Avenir's wines showed remarkable elegance, with silky tannins, delicate fruit flavors, and lower alcohol levels. These wines are particularly enjoyable at a younger age, but great balance and a fine tannin structure promise impressive aging potential. The grapes were harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Each vineyard was vinified separately. After destemming, the must was cooled, and fermentation took place for 10-15 days at 26°C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in stainless steel tanks and 300-liter new, second, and third-fill French oak barrels for 10-14 months. The final blend was based on a careful selection of barrels.
