Avondale Anima 2017

The word Anima refers to the vital life force or soul. Our ethos “Terra Est Vita”- Soil is Life - is our acknowledgement that for us, soul animates everything on earth, from the minerals, through plants and animals to humans. We’ve called our Chenin Blanc, Anima because the lively minerals of Avondale’s soils give this wine its own delicious, spirited character and extraordinary finesse. Anima has a nose that develops intriguingly in the glass.Winter melon, pineapple, lime and a hint of honey confirm the elegance and fullness of this softly wooded, supple Chenin Blanc. The palate is dense with fresh fruit flavours of gooseberry, quince and peach, all harmonising superbly with the soulful minerality that gives this wine its name.
