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

After a year of maturation in French oak barrels, wine from each barrel is tasted before a careful selection is made to create this remarkable CVC blend.

Optimally ripe grapes, hand-picked in the cool early morning hours are whole bunch pressed, after which free-run juice is barrel fermented using a combination of commercial and carefully selected wild yeast strains. Grape varieties (Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Viognier) are vinified separately to showcase the unique character of each grape varietal, with the Chardonnay specially vinified and matured in French oak for this special blended wine.

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.
