The Drift Estate
The focus is beautiful in its simplicity – to craft unique, intriguing, and unusually delicious wine from a small, distinct corner of the universe. We want to make wine that is enjoyable in youth, but capable of being enjoyed for many decades to come. It begins with understanding and loving our land, being sensitive to the long-term needs of our vines, and treating our grapes with the utmost respect and care in the Estate winery.
Description
The wine is densely purple in colour. It’s a full-on nose, packed with concentrated black types of fruit like mulberry and ridiculously ripe cherry. But it’s the spice and herbaciousness that marks this wine as different. The wine is rich, but fresh, with clean, refreshing acidity and soft, luscious tannins. If cellared correctly this vintage will live for twenty years easily, but is drinking very well now because of the softness of the wine crafting.
Food Pairing
Go Hearty - Venison with porcini mushrooms. BBQ Wagyu steak or Braised butter beans. Also loves any blue cheese.
