The Avondale Cyclus 2021 is a complex white wine cuvée that impresses with its natural elegance and harmonious balance. On the nose, it unfolds an expressive bouquet of ripe apricot, peach, pear and white blossoms, accompanied by fine notes of honey and a hint of citrus. On the palate, it shows a creamy texture with elegant freshness, supported by lively acidity and delicate minerality. Aromas of ripe stone fruit, mandarin and a touch of vanilla weave together into a complex yet balanced taste experience. The finish is long, silky and finely spicy – a characterful wine that perfectly reflects the biodynamic signature of Avondale.

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.
