Alvi's Drift Pinotage 750ml

In the Alvi’s Drift cellar, the winemaking team strongly focuses on preserving the fruit-driven expression of the grapes that go into their award-winning wines. Once delivered to the cellar, hand-harvested Pinotage grapes are crushed before being transferred to fermentation tanks and left to ferment for approximately seven days. The juice is drawn off on skins to enhance the wine’s colour and flavour intensity, after which the wine is selectively matured in American oak for up to eight months prior to bottling.

• A cellar specialty since it was first bottled in 2006, Alvi’s Drift Pinotage has an intense black cherry colour with a youthful ruby rim
• A juicy plum-and-ripe-black cherry character dominates both bouquet and palate, with hints of liquorice and sweet vanilla
• The wine boasts a seamless tannin structure, well balanced with subtle hints of berries and vanilla following through on the palate
• It can be enjoyed immediately, but will reward with up to three years of cellar maturation
• This wine can be enjoyed with most red meats, as well as mature gouda or cheddar cheese
• It will also complement sushi and seared tuna and pairs well with any creamy coconut curry
• Medium Bodied
• Screw Cap
• Wine from the Worcester Region
