L'Avenir 2005 Chenin Blanc (Stellenbosch)
This estate is widely reputed for its Chenin Blanc. And no wonder, with this very dry, ripe character wine spiced with cinnamon and citrus. This is a full, creamy style, which matures well, and will certainly be even more impressive in 8–9 years. Imported by Wingard.

L'Avenir 2004 Grand Vin Pinotage (Stellenbosch)
- Online Exclusive
Rich and silky, this wine is full of very soft, sweet fruit. It has the texture of treacle, dense but without any sense of tannins. The dusty, superripe fruit (14.5% alcohol) makes it very enticing, but the structure and the acidity seem to have disappeared. Not imported.

L'Avenir 2004 Pinotage (Stellenbosch)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A deliciously juicy version of Pinotage, which starts with open aromas of plums and beetroot and follows with soft, ripe, sweet flavors. It flows generously over the earthy edge of Pinotage, and would be great with spicy food. Imported by Remy Cointreau USA.

L'Avenir 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Stellenbosch)
With its softness, its layers of wood, this wine has delicious apple and cream flavors, giving a tropical style of Sauvignon Blanc. But there is also great acidity and a hint of a mineral character to give it structure. Not imported.
