John Platter 2008 - 4 Stars

It is well-balanced, which will ensure a long harmonious development. Yet the wine is fresh and lively already and immediately enjoyable (for those who cannot wait) due to its elegance and a touch of power
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.
