John Platter 2008 - 4 Stars Superbly balanced with alluring tropical fruit flavours that make you want to drink chilled bottle after chilled bottle. THE NAME Owner Johnathan Grieve uses a 'posse' of Peking ducks to patrol the vineyards and to eat snails. This is a natural and environmentally friendly way of killing pests. These ducks epitomizes our natural 'green' way of farming and making wine at Avondale - a methodology we have named Bio-LOGIC.
ageing :
This wine will come onto its own after a year in bottle and may age well for up to 5 years. Most interesting would be see how the undertones of grass and asparagus age in this wine.
The grapes were harvested from south-facing vineyards in Devon Valley, and east-facing vineyards in Paarl at between 21° B and 24º B.
