Wine of the Month

This bone-dry Cap Classique wine boasts a charming, gold-leaf colour, with lively bubbles racing to the rim to form a delicate, fine crown of mousse. It has an intense, complex and appealing nose with aromas of baked brioche and lemon cream, with hints of walnut and nougat. Lively on the palate, the mousse is chalky dry with notes of nut and stone fruit following through to a full mid-palate, lingering long for a refreshing creamy-lemon finish.

In the Alvi’s Drift cellar, our winemaking team strongly focuses on preserving the fruit-driven expression of the grapes that go into our award-winning wines. Once delivered to our cellar, cool Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes are whole-bunch pressed to ensure a soft, elegant base wine. Only the highest-quality free-run juice is drawn off skins, then fermented at cool temperatures according to the natural method.

Growing in the ancient limestone soils the Breede River Valley is so famous for, our mature Chardonnay vineyard is ideally situated for yielding grapes of the quality, character and complexity required for an outstanding MCC sparkling wine. Our Pinot Noir vineyards are situated on north-facing slopes, with grapes grown in black slate soil. At Alvi’s Drift, it remains our philosophy that fruit should be phenologically ripe to ensure wines with an excellent, fruit-driven character and perfect mouthfeel. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes for this wine are specifically harvested at optimal ripeness in the cool, early morning hours to protect the acidity so crucial to producing a superb Brut Nature sparkling wine.
