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
Dark, black-cherry coloured with a youthful, purple rim, this wine boasts an intense, ripe-plum nose with notes of black berries and hints of dark chocolate, fig and sweet, oaky vanilla. The fruit follows through, lingering for a beautiful and satisfying finish. Made without compromise in small volumes only, our Verreaux Pinotage 2020 vintage is a medium bodied wine with velvety tannins and a well-rounded mouthfeel. This remarkable wine has ageing potential of at least 8 years.
Food Pairing
