The Avondale Navitas is an exclusive red wine cuvée in traditional Rhône style. From strictly limited production, this gem is the undisputed flagship of the winery. With an extraordinary colour in the glass, this noble drop has a rich and complex scent of dark fruit compote, fragrant cloves and warm cinnamon. The palate is caressed by delicious nuances of white pepper and ripe plums, silky smooth tannins and a soft and wonderfully lively minerality, which give the wine an excellent fruit concentration. In a soft and pleasantly long-lasting finish, Navitas ends in an impressive finale and provides for first-class pleasure!
Navitas means energy. Energy that integrates various elements into a harmonious system that we call life. Lively and pulsating with an unmistakable life of its own, the red flagship of the winery was christened "Navitas", as this wine is the embodiment of Avondale's uniquely luminous character. The water, mineralogy, soul, cosmic connections and especially the energy of Avondale find perfect expression in Navitas.

The grapes were hand picked and partially destemmed before being crushed and prepared for the following fermentation process in stainless steel tanks. Once the spontaneous fermentation was completed, i.e. the fermentation was initiated exclusively by the yeast naturally present on the fruit and in the cellar, the malolactic fermentation and the complete maturation of the wine took place in 600 l oak barrels.
