Tasting Notes: A fresh, inviting fruity nose, with aromas of peach, apricot and orange peel. A gentle hint of honey weaves through the fruit on a well rounded, silky palate. The zippy acids and beautiful lingering citrus fruit give a refreshing finish.

The Alvi’s Drift estate, based in the Breede River valley, is named after a bridge that was built across the river, which was commissioned in 1928 by the family as a means for the locals to cross safely. The estates founder Albertus Viljoen ‘Oupa Alvi’ notoriously scored the Springboks first try against the All Blacks on African soil. Today, his grandson Alvi van der Merwe is the winemaker and alongside the vineyards, cultivated the land for fruit orchards and livestock herds, both dairy and free-roaming game.
