A youthful wine with a pale hue and a hint of lime green on the rim. The nose is vibrant and expressive, showing intense notes of passion fruit and freshly cut grass. Elegant and lively on the palate with crisp, refreshing acidity and a clean, lingering lime finish.

We use only the best-quality, free-run juice to produce this unique Sauvignon Blanc wine. An intriguing blend of barrel-matured and fresh, crisp, tank-fermented Sauvignon Blanc – approximately 30% of this wine was wild yeast-fermented, then aged up to 12 months in predominantly older French oak barrels. More recently, we’ve also included 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 produce remarkable wines of unique character and complexity. The grapes for our 221 Sauvignon Blanc wines are hand-harvested from carefully selected, prime vineyards on our wine farm. Harvesting takes place in the cool, early morning hours, ensuring that sugar levels are stable and that the concentration of aromas and flavours in grapes is optimal.

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.
