Saadan
Sophisticated and polished wine that demonstrates the best of the 2016 vintage. Its full-bodied structure is ideally balanced, with refined tannins that add nuance and complexity. A truly impressive wine that is well worth the investment.
Mattin
The wine was remarkably gentle on the palate, complementing the deep hints of the lamb pot tobacco chocolate oak perfectly.

I acquired this bottle by error for an unusually high price. In Tbilisi, it is 5 times more expensive than what I can afford in Cape Town. The nose is markedly appealing, with a luscious berry profile featuring black currant, wild strawberry, and blackberries. The flavor is similarly well-balanced, with spices like cloves adding depth. The medium body and 14% alcohol content make it a suitable premium for those seeking a powerful wine. The 2016 vintage is in excellent condition, with a pleasant tertiary character and soft leather and wood notes.

L'Avenir Provenance Stellenbosch Classic is praised for its rich, full-bodied profile with balanced tannins and complex flavors. Many enjoy its notes of red and dark berries, oak, forest floor, and spices. While some appreciate its smooth finish and aging potential, others find it overpriced in certain regions. The wine pairs well with hearty dishes, offering a sophisticated experience with a touch of elegance.
This deep and earthy L’Avenir Provenance Stellenbosch Classic offers a complex nose of black cherry, plum, and earthy forest floor, with a hint of cedar. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is well balanced, with bright, juicy acidity and firm tannins. The finish is lingering and pleasing, with notes of dark fruit and spice. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years to allow the flavors to deepen and evolve.
