L’Avenir

L’Avenir is another lovely looking place and a tranquil spot to while away a tasting hour or two in Stellenbosch. More great mountain views surround you and the winery and tasting venue are nested on the edge of a small lake.

The favourite wine from the five tested was the L’Avenir Pinotage 2013. The 100% Pinotage wine spends 13 months in oak barrels. A nice mix of black and red berry fruits on the palate with a little spice and leather thrown in on the finish.

Aaldering

The favourite wine from tasting at Aaldering was the Pinotage 2012. Red fruits, medium tannins and a touch of leather on the palate. Pinotage is a grape variety specifically created for the hotter conditions found in South Africa and boy is it hot right now at almost 33 degrees. Locals say it is due to get hotter next week as well.
