  Avondale Camissa Rose 2019, Paarl, South Africa

  £20.00 – £108.00 Buy A blend of three flavourful varieties, Camissa arrests the nose with rose petals, scented pelargonium and fresh red fruits of the earth. Hints of Turkish Delight and lemon zest attest to the perfect acidity of this wine, for Camissa appears sweet initially but finishes completely dry.

  Avondale La Luna 2013, Paarl, South Africa

  £32.50 – £175.50 Buy The deep ruby with a shimmering robe gives you a slight inclination of quality. If the colour doesn't give it away the nose certainly does. It's deep broody and delicious. Cassis, violets, toast, blueberry coulee, dark chocolate, tobacco, sweet charred vanilla and plum jam. Light on it's feet yet full bodied and rich. This is very impressive indeed. Suave tannins and nimble acidity help taper the generous lashings of ripe black fruit. Complex and magnificently well made. Drink now or cellar for a decade.

  Avondale Anima 2017, Paarl, South Africa

  £25.00 – £135.00 Buy This is without doubt one of our favourites wines, and an absolute bargain consider the quality. After some time in the decanter, and served cool not cold, Anima boasts a beautifully enticing and complex nose of buttered pear, beeswax, honey, hazelnut, cashew, yogurt, citrus peel, chalk and steely minerality. Those wonderful aromatics pass from the nose to the palate effortlessly. The presence, weight and texture of this vintage is quite remarkable. There's the classic minerality and acidity you expect from a Chenin, but there's much more flesh and cream than you'd expect. A touch of salinity and nimble acidity balances the rich fruit quite perfectly. As for the finish, it doesn't let itself down here either. Layers of macadamia and stone fruit kick on towards the one minute mark. Take a bow Avondale. This is great stuff.
