Buy or order L'Avenir wine
L'Avenir is the success story from Stellenbosch. No matter which wine you drink from this estate, you taste quality, and you'll want to take another sip. L'Avenir is a South African gem that has already won over many fans worldwide. We've been working with this winery for years, purely because of its phenomenal quality. It all began at the end of the 17th century, when a group of Dutchmen founded this winery. For the next three hundred years, L'Avenir was a minor player in South Africa and Stellenbosch. This changed in 1992, when Frenchman Marc Wiehe purchased the winery. He developed L'Avenir into what it is today. The 1990s were crucial for this winery. The Pinotages were acclaimed by the international press, and in 1997, L'Avenir's Chenin Blanc was crowned the best in South Africa. At the end of the 1990s, the winery came into the hands of the well-known Laroche wine family, who gave the winery its current allure.
The vineyards of L'Avenir
These vineyards have been in the hands of L'Avenir for centuries. In the mid-1990s, the winery began specializing in two grape varieties: Chenin Blanc, which produces high-quality wines in Stellenbosch. And Pinotage, the pride of all of South Africa. L'Avenir has become a leading winery in these two grape varieties. Buy a bottle of L'Avenir, and success is guaranteed.
