The grapes come from vineyards at the foot of the Klein-Drakenstein Mountains near Paarl. Avondale lists thirteen soil types on the estate, including clay, granite and sandstone; an exact vineyard-site allocation for this vintage has not been published. The wine is made according to the estate’s slow, minimally interventionist approach. Avondale ferments with naturally occurring yeasts and favours extended ageing, but for La Luna 2018 it gives no documented duration or specific vessels. The dry, medium-bodied red wine shows blackcurrant, blackberry, dark cherry, tobacco and cedar; the acidity is firm and the tannins balanced.
