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
With a radiant, pale-gold hue, this wine delights with aromas of ripe peach, juicy apricot, and tropical fruits like mango and pineapple. Subtle floral notes and nuanced oak ageing add depth, complemented by hints of toasted coriander seeds and vanilla. On the palate, it offers a well-balanced, rounded mouthfeel and a lingering finish. This Viognier will age gracefully for up to 8 years.
Food Pairing
Enjoy this wine with creamy seafood, risotto or aromatic Thai curries. Serve between 10-12 °C for optimal enjoyment.
