Specification

Producer

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.

Tasting Notes

With a rounded, rich nose of violets and peach, and just a hint of frangipan, Cyclus holds all the promise of a quality white blend. This is beautifully carried through to the palate where the intense flavours of pear, pineapple, apricot and fig are rounded off with smooth, subtle oak for a creamy, long-structured finish.

Food Matches

Ideal with shellfish like crab or lobster as well as pork in creamy sauces.

Press Comments

Highly Commended - Wine Merchant Top 100, 2024. Wine Merchant Top 100, Highly Commended, 2025.be. An elliptical wine that starts with a bright point of citrus, broadens through flowers, greenage and lime, then tightens once more to a mineral, pebbly finish.''
