Avante Brandy
15 international global rugby superstars have come together to create a Cape brandy to take on
the world’s very best. Never before has a collective like this formed in the business world and it
can only be likened to a barbarians team that has come together to not just play but to
overcome all odds, to move forward and to win the World Cup of spirits. Lead by World Cup winning captain John Smit

Behind the bottle sits a legacy. Behind the legacy sits a process that hasn't wavered.
Double distillation in copper potstills. French oak barrel ageing. Grapes that carry the weight of the Western Cape.
Avante VSOP is proof that when you build something right, the world takes notice. Award after award. Sip after sip.

There is a specific kind of patience found only in the vineyard.
It's the same focus required on the field of play, a refusal to settle for "good enough. We took Chenin Blanc and Colombard, double-distilled them in copper, and then did the hardest thing of all: we waited six years for the French oak to do its work.
"Mastery" is a heavy word, and not one we use lightly. It is written in the grain of our barrels and the character of our grapes. This is the result of knowing when to push and when to let nature take the lead.
We didn't set out to make a drink; we set out to bottle a legacy.
