Alvi's Drift Fusion Red 750ml

The Fusion, as the name implies, is a fusion of “old” and “new”. Not only grapes and styles of wine, but also of winemaking techniques. Each variety is vinified separately with a specific intent to showcase specific characters using methods and stylistic choices suited to each grape. In general, juice is macerated on skin to improve the colour. Each variety then follows its own path through the cellar, enjoying open fermentation, pumping-over and French oak barrel maturation in some cases while other varieties enjoy partial tank fermentation, completing fermentation in barrel. After fermentation, the wine was matured for 18 months in a combination of French and American Oak barrels of which approximately a third were new.
