Avondale Armilla Blanc de Blanc MCC presents itself on the palate with a rich and round character - perfectly balanced aromas of roasted hazelnut bread, fresh quince and green apples pamper the senses. The fresh, sparkling acidity is crisp and lively and integrates seamlessly into the palate. The mouthfeel is full and velvety soft with subtle nuances of fine citrus fruit in the background.

The grapes were hand-picked in the cool morning hours and pressed all over the bunch on arrival at the winery. The resulting juice fermented naturally 90% in stainless steel tanks and 10% in French barriques. Once fermentation was complete, both wines were blended with a further portion of reserve wine, whereupon the wine matured on the lees for 24 months, followed by another 60 months in the bottle.
