This is a Bordeaux-style blend crafted from organically farmed vines grown on the slopes of Avondale. Following the fire that swept through parts of the farm in January 2026, the Phoenix was created as a symbol of renewal at Avondale. Inspired by the protea, a remarkable indigenous plant that releases its seeds after fire, the wine reflects nature’s ability to regenerate and begin again.
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

Avondale Wine

The picturesque 160-hectare farm that is today known as Avondale has been under cultivation for more than 300 years. Early records show that the land was one of the first in the Paarl Valley to be allocated specifically for the production of wine grapes. Avondale is now home to the Grieve Family and 25 farm worker families. As the pioneers of Vital Health Foods, South Africa’s leading health food company, the Grieves have an innate focus on well-being that encompasses the land and its community of people. Avondale are committed to providing fair and decent living and working conditions to enable their people to enjoy healthy, balanced lives.

Rich aromas of blackcurrant, plum and dark berries unfold alongside notes of dark chocolate and subtle spice. The palate is full and layered, with refined tannins and vibrant freshness leading to a long, elegant finish.
