Alvi's Drift
Alvi’s Drift is a third-generation, family-owned winery in South Africa’s Breede River Valley. Named after the bridge connecting the farm, our 410-hectare estate lies in the cool-climate Scherpenheuvel ward, where diverse soils shape our award-winning wines. From crisp whites to elegant reds, MCCs, and sparkling wines, each bottle reflects a love for craft and terroir. Led by winemaker Alvi van der Merwe, we blend tradition with innovation—doing more than expected, because we’re doing what we love.
Description
The Alvi's Drift 221 Chenin Blanc 2023 has a brilliant, pale-straw color and presents a complex, fruit-forward nose with notes of ripe white peach, stewed apple, and a hint of blossom honey. The palate is silky-smooth and creamy, offering refreshing acidity and finishing with lingering flavors of fresh lemon​.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with soft cheeses such as Chevre, Brie, or Camembert. It also complements grilled fish with lemon-butter sauce, grilled chicken, or a fresh Caesar salad​.
