Details and technical informations about Winery Avontuur's Avon Rouge.
Discover the grape variety: Arbane
Elegant, taut sparkling whites with a pale golden robe, a nervous palate and a razor-sharp acidity of refined citrus (lemon), green apple, white flowers (acacia), pear and chalky mineral notes. Fine ageing potential. A traditional minor component of Champagne AOC (one of 7 authorised grapes), preserved by growers attached to historic heritage. Rare native French grape of the Aube, a forgotten Champenois signature.

The wine region of Stellenbosch
Showcase of the South African vineyard: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as king red — structured and age-worthy with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a menthol touch, firm tannins. Emblematic national Pinotage (created 1925) opulent and smoky (blackberry, coffee, leather). Fleshy Shiraz, supple Merlot as complement. Vibrant Chenin Blanc, ample Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon in whites.
The wine region of Western Cape
Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.
The word of the wine: Overmaturation
When the grapes reach maturity, the skin becomes permeable and progressively loses water, which causes a concentration phenomenon inside the berry. This is called over-ripening or passerillage.
