Description
ON THE VINES
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 South African wines of unique character and complexity.
Our vineyards are sustainably fertilised with natural compost produced on our farm. Come harvest time, our grapes are carefully hand harvested from selected Pinotage vineyards in the cool, early morning hours to ensure optimal quality and flavour.
IN THE CELLAR
In the Alvi’s Drift cellar, our winemaking team strongly focuses on preserving the fruit-driven expression of the grapes that go into our award-winning South African wines.
To produce this wine, hand-harvested grapes from selected Pinotage vineyards are destemmed, crushed, cold soaked and then fermented on the skins for at least a week. To add to the wine’s complexity, at least 30% of the blend is sourced from our barrel-matured Pinotage.
