Crafted from certified organic Chenin Blanc vineyards aged between 16 and 40 years, Anima reflects Avondale’s commitment to mindful winemaking and terroir expression. Hand-harvested grapes were naturally fermented in French oak, with a portion fermented in Amphora and Qvevri to enhance texture and complexity, followed by 12 months on lees for added depth and refinement.
The 2022 vintage reveals vibrant aromas of pear, peach, pineapple, lemon peel and chamomile, layered with hints of apricot, honey and winter melon. The palate is textured yet fresh, balancing lively acidity with mineral elegance and a softly rounded finish. Sophisticated, expressive and beautifully poised, Anima captures both purity and depth in every sip.
