					<description><![CDATA[Paying homage to the famed terroir of Stellenbosch's historic wine region, L'Avenir was only founded in 1992 by Mauritius native Marc Wiehe.

Under the oenological direction of winemakers Dirk Coetzee, Mattheus Thabo and Francois Conradie, the winery in the foothills of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch produces now a well-endowed and award-winning wine portfolio of wines, distinguished by their unmistakably South African character with an elegant touch of French flair, with the two classic South African grape varieties Chenin Blanc and Pinotage, as the cornerstone of the South African wine industry, forming the main focus of L'Avenir.

L'Avenir Single Block Pinotage is the winery's flagship and the best that L'Avenir has to offer. Only grapes from the highest vineyard on the estate were used for this exceptional red wine. Only the 14 best casks were selected for this vintage.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 14.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Deep ruby red.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
The nose spoils with an invitingly fresh and complex aroma of fragrant violets, dried cranberries and dark chocolate.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
The palate is caressed by lively and lush fruit nuances of fresh cherries and delicately sweet spices as well as well-integrated oak wood tones.<br />
Its full-bodied structure and its fine and soft tannins complete this pleasure experience and end in a long-lasting and pleasantly soft finish.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
After the fermentation in French barriques, the wine matured for 18 months in first and second use French oak barrels and rests in stainless steel tanks.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Dishes with duck or dark meat in cranberry sauce are a very good choice to accompany this beautiful wine.</p>
