Avondale La Luna 2013: Elegant, Mineral-Driven South African Bordeaux Blend

Avondale La Luna 2013 is the flagship Bordeaux-style blend from Avondale Estate in Paarl, South Africa. This vintage is made from a biodynamically farmed combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented using natural yeasts, then matured for 12 to 16 months in French oak barrels. The result is a beautifully structured wine that reflects both precision winemaking and expressive terroir.

On the nose, Avondale La Luna 2013 reveals refined aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedarwood, graphite, and a hint of tobacco leaf. The palate is medium to full-bodied, showing concentrated flavors of dark berries, ripe plums, and mocha. The finish is long and composed, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and fine mineral tension that make this wine both age-worthy and immensely drinkable.

Crafted with meticulous attention to natural farming and minimal intervention, Avondale La Luna 2013 is a testament to sustainable luxury. With a drinking window that extends to 2035, this wine is ideal for cellaring or immediate enjoyment.
