The relationship between French and South African wine making goes back many centuries. Here are three wines, each with its own French flair

WHITE L’Avenir Provenance Chenin Blanc 2018

Owned by a French leader of terroir-driven wine, AdVini, a phenomenal wine that consistently overdelivers by balancing crisp, fruity notes with the classy complexity of oak spice and minerality. R160

PINK Domaine Grier Rosè 2018

From the Villiera’s Grier family-owned vineyard in the southern French region of Roussillon. The delicate aromas ensure compatibility with food. It shows hints of red berries and a terroir-based minerality with a fresh, light finish on the palate. R84

RED Anwilka Petit Frère 2018

A joint venture with Bordeaux wine personalities Bruno Prats, Hubert de Boüard and Klein Constantia. A gentle and smooth wine upon entry, the palate is medium to full bodied with well-structured tannins. Fresh and vibrant, concluding with a lengthy finish. R115
