Avondale Owl House Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Well-balanced and structured wine with beautiful Cabernet fruit, which carries through to the palate.

THE NAME
Ten pairs of breeding owls live on our wine farm. They live in owl houses made from disused French wine oak barrels. We encourage our Cape Eagle and Barn owls to stay, as when birdlife returns to Avondale, the natural cycle of life is successfully being restored.
