January has a way of exposing the cracks in even the most carefully planned budgets. After the festive season, households are met with a flood
Fresh off Avante Founders’ XV securing a coveted Platter’s 2026 Five-Star rating — the only South African brandy to achieve this at launch — Avante steps into the festive season with a line-up of trendy, craftsmanship-led and premium gifting essentials designed for the stylish, the discerning, and the ones who appreciate mastery in every sip.
Founded by 15 South African rugby legends, Avante is built on the belief that extraordinary things happen when we fuse our best together. This is pure craftsmanship at its best: 100% potstilled, hand-selected, and patiently transformed. Every component chosen not to overpower, but to elevate — echoing the ethos that brought the brand’s founders together.
Avante has also launched the new 10-year Avante XO — a striking expression crafted to showcase the depth, elegance, and layered complexity of true Cape Potstill brandy. Furthermore, Avante unveils a range of trendy, beautifully designed and packaged giftable pieces — from customisable cabinets to compact tasting collections — each crafted to elevate the art of gifting all year round. Because nothing says “gift with intention” quite like Avante.
