“You will never truly know victory unless you have tasted defeat. That’s what drives us forward. That’s Avante!” John Smit
The finest Cape brandy begins by sourcing the finest Cape terroir grapes. Our base wine is then double distilled in copper pots and aged in oak for a minimum of four years. This path of purity is then rounded off perfectly by our master distillers, and bottled for your enjoyment.

SPIRIT OF THE GAME
In every professional career, it’s the individuals that embrace the challenge that taste the sweetest of success. There are certainly easier ways to make a brandy, but for us we wanted Avante to resemble the spirit of our founders and moving forward no matter what.
