Description
Detailed Tasting Notes
Boasting an intense, ruby-red colour, this perfumed wine has forthcoming aromas of white pepper, mulberry, prunes, and liquorice on the nose; with hints of cinnamon, cloves and cardamom lingering in the background. Lush fruit follows through on the palate, supported by silky tannins leading to an interesting, lingering, peppery blackberry finish. Ready to be enjoyed immediately, this wine will mature for at least three to five years.
In The Cellar
Created entirely from estate-grown grapes, each variety in this blended wine is vinified separately. Some varieties are wild-yeast fermented in barrels, while others are fermented in stainless steel tanks to showcase the optimal ripe fruit characters of each varietal.
Only the best tanks and highest-quality oak barrels were carefully selected by our tasting panel to create this memorable, elegant-yet-approachable wine.
The Grapes
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. Our vineyards are sustainably fertilised with natural compost produced on our farm. Come harvest time, our grapes are carefully hand harvested from selected vineyards in the cool, early morning hours to ensure optimal quality and flavour
