Avontuur Estate, situated on the Western Slopes of the Helderberg, overlooking False Bay, is world-renowned for its award winning wines, and internationally acclaimed thoroughbred stud operation.
Thus it has been dubbed “The home of Fine Wines and Fast Horses”.
Owned by the Taberer family, with the second generation currently at the helm, the Estate is a destination not to be missed.
The synergy between the horses bred on the Estate and the wine produced here is clearly portrayed in the premiere range of wines, which bear testimony to six of the finest horses to have passed through the farm’s history.
Just some of what is on offer…and some of what is perfect as gifts or for the festive season…just to celebrate, because why not…
Brut MCC:
A fresh, light sparkling wine with a yeasty follow-through on the palate. It has a fine mousse and a light creamy aftertaste.
Estate 10 year old Brandy:
The Avontuur Estate 10 year old Brandy was double potstilled in a copper still and aged for 10 years in oak barrels
in the cellar on the Estate before being bottled. It is clean and crisp on the nose with strong cedar and
vanilla undertones. On the palate it has an attractive herbaceousness with complexitiy added across the full floral and fruit spectrum. The finish is smooth and the beautiful golden caramel colour is due to the ageing process
in the oak.
Above Royalty:
Robust with a sweet, rich mouth feel, without being cloying. Should be cooled before serving. Perfect end to a good meal and an excellent match with cheese.
