Alvi’s Drift Reserve Drift Fusion Blend 2019

R206.00

Region: Breede Rivier

Tasting note:

A sumptuous, complex Cape blend with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries and plums, with beautifully integrated vanilla, spice and cashew nut characters. Well balanced with a firm and well-integrated tannin structure, this full-bodied wine has a lingering, fruit-driven finish and will mature for five to eight years.

Pairing suggestion:

This red wine is best enjoyed with most red meats like roast lamb, beef steak, venison pies and rich oxtail. It also pairs well with strong,mature cheeses such as Roquefort, Gruyère or Blue Rock.

In 1928, South Africa took note when a young, unknown rugby player, Albertus Viljoen van der Merwe – “Alvi” to his friends – made history by scoring the first try in history against the All Blacks on African soil.

Alvi’s Drift, outside Worcester, is an operation that probably deserves more attention than it gets. Owned by the Van der Merwe family since 1928, this property measures 6 000ha in total with some 420ha planted to vineyard.

Blend: 41% Pinotage, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Shiraz, 5,5% Durif and 5,5% Petit Verdot
