Meaning of Luna de Miel
Luna de Miel was known as South Africa's million dollar Broodmare in 1986. Purchased in the Argentine in 1982 at a partial dispersal sale from the Perkinses who were forced to sell due to the economic turmoil surrounding the Falkland Island crisis. Luna de Miel has graced Avontuur for 18 years and we were priviledged to have been part of her life and the lives of her progeny. This very special and unique wine has been named after a very treasured and valuable thoroughbreed broodmare who passed away at the age of twenty seven and is buried on Avontuur soil.
