A perfect companion to spicy, flavourful dishes like Bobotie or Thai green curry. Best enjoyed lightly chilled between 10–12°C.

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.

Optimally ripe grapes, hand-picked in the cool early morning hours are pressed, with preference given to free-run juice. Thereafter, wild-yeast fermentation is started in a combination of cement and stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation is then completed in 100% French oak barrels, lending a beautiful complexity to the final product.

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.
