Avontuur shares their latest Tim Atkin awards for 2025.

A legacy begins: The Taberer 2022

With its maiden release, The Taberer 2022 has been recognised by Tim Atkin MW in his 2025 South Africa Special Report, receiving an excellent rating of 92 points.

A Bordeaux-style red blend of elegance and depth, this wine reflects the strength, sincerity, and fortitude of the Taberer family, whose roots in Stellenbosch stretch back over two centuries.

Congratulations to winemaker Dominique Modena, whose vision and steady hand have shaped this wine into something remarkable. Her work brings a fresh energy to the Avontuur story – a balance of heritage and innovation that ignites the spirit of adventure in those brave enough to recognise excellence.

This first accolade is a fitting tribute to a new chapter in the Avontuur story – a wine made not just to honour the family name, but to carry its legacy forward with distinction.

The West Peak Cabernet Sauvignon 2021: A sentinel of excellence

Standing watch over Stellenbosch, The West Peak Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 has been recognised by Tim Atkin MW in his 2025 report, receiving 90 points.

Rooted in the ancient granitic soils of the Helderberg, this wine is a refined expression of its terroir – deep in character, layered in complexity, and unmistakably true to its origin.

Congratulations to Dominique, whose dedication and precision have brought this wine to life. With its balance of power and elegance, The West Peak Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 honours the landscape it hails from and affirms Avontuur’s pursuit of excellence.

Stone Field Syrah 2023: Strength forged in stone

From the rugged, stony soils of Stellenbosch comes Stone Field Syrah 2023, recognised by Tim Atkin MW in his 2025 report with 90 points.

Shaped by the cool-climate slopes of the Helderberg, this wine reveals elegance, purity, and restrained power – its crimson hue and layers of spice, mulberry, and violets a true reflection of its origin.

Congratulations to Dominique for capturing the essence of this distinctive terroir. Stone Field Syrah 2021 stands as a testament to heritage and place, a wine that resonates with quiet strength and lasting character.
