The Roses at Avondale....

A couple of years back, I visited Avondale estate and was taken by the magnificent rose garden at the entrance to the tasting room.


Now several years later I wonder if what was located in very close proximity beneath the ground had anything to do with the visual splendor above. Why you may ask? Well within a couple of yards of the roots of that fine garden were some truly superb wines.


It would therefore go without saying that the passion and brilliance applied in making that, that was housed bellow was at that time literaly reflected above. Today Avondale wines have addapted with changing times and I would be keen, on my next visit to the slopes of the Klein Drakenstein mountains, to see weather the roses of Avondale continue to thrive.
