With an enchanting pale straw hue, this wine radiates youthful vitality, its aromas of jasmine and white peach complemented by subtle hints of passionfruit. On the palate, it delivers a well-rounded experience, harmoniously balancing vibrant fruit notes with refreshing acidity. Expect a long, lingering finish of bright citrus.

Only the best-quality, free-run juice was used to produce this unique Chenin Blanc – a truly one of-a-kind wine unlike any other produced in our cellar. A blend of barrel-matured and fresh, crisp tank-fermented Chenin Blanc, approximately 30% of this wine was wild yeast- fermented, then aged in predominantly older French oak barrels, but, more recently, also a few French Acacia barrels to add complexity and depth. The remainder of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks, highlighting the wonderful, primary fruit character of this vintage.

With an ideal Mediterranean microclimate, an abundance of soil diversity and water from the life-giving Breede River, the Alvi’s Drift vineyards are ideally positioned for producing remarkable wines of unique character and complexity. Our vineyards are sustainably fertilised with natural compost produced on our farm. Come harvest time, our grapes are carefully hand harvested from selected Chenin Blanc vineyards in the cool, early morning hours to ensure optimal quality and flavour.

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.
