Avontuur Estate Wines
Accolades received since 2000:
"At our estate, only the very best grapes are selected, to create a range of wines that rate amongst the best in the region. With the increasing awareness of quality wine and growing preference for boutique wines, Avontuur Estate was encouraged to release a 'Premier Range' in addition to our list of superb Estate and value-for-money wines. This range consists of Luna de Miel (Chardonnay Reserve) , Minelli (Pinot Noir Reserve), our Noble Late Harvest, Above Royalty and our complex Bordeaux blend, Baccarat".
