Founded in Paarl, South Africa, Avondale is a pioneering biodynamic and organic estate dedicated to farming in harmony with nature. Our vision is to craft wines that express the vitality of our living soils while delivering genuine complexity and elegance to the modern wine lover.
Our La Luna is our flagship Bordeaux-style blend — a special wine produced to showcase the full potential of our estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot, farmed under the moon's natural rhythms.
