The Avondale Armilla 2018 presents itself as an elegant Blanc de Blanc with fine perlage and impressive balance. On the nose, aromas of toasted brioche, hazelnuts, and ripe quince unfold, accompanied by a hint of citrus and honey. On the palate, it shows a harmonious combination of creamy texture and lively acidity, giving the wine freshness and depth at the same time. Notes of green apple, white blossoms, and fine yeast spice characterize the taste, while the long, elegant finish fades out with a touch of lemon peel and minerality.

Tasting Notes
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
