Alvi’s Drift Reserve Viognier: The Perfect Festive Gift
If you’re looking for a festive gift that’s as unique as it is memorable, why not choose something different in our newly launched Reserve Viognier?
This singular wine (we like to refer to it as “the white wine for red wine lovers”) is truly one-of-its-kind. With notes of ripe peach, apricot, tropical fruit, and subtle hints of toasted coriander, oak and floral perfume, our fruit-forward Reserve Viognier is a complex, medium-bodied wine and a true conversation starter – perfect for enjoying at any holiday gathering.
This fascinating cultivar also comes with a unique story, as the Viognier grape was brought back from the brink of extinction in the mid-1960s. Renowned for its floral aromatics and intense fruit character, the Viognier grape is also known to require an extraordinary level of skill from the winemaker.
Our Reserve Viognier is a wine that invites you to slow down and savour every sip, whether you’re enjoying it on its own, or pairing the wine with richer festive fare like creamy seafood, fragrant curries, or other rich, aromatic dishes.
A 2024 Great Gold Award & Medal of Excellence for our Reserve Viognier
Even before its official release, our new Reserve Viognier started raking in awards, including a coveted Great Gold at the 2024 International Wine & Spirits Awards (IWSA) and a Medal of Excellence (90+ points) in Tim Atkin’s 2024 South Africa Special Report.
These accolades reflect our winemaking team’s dedication to pushing boundaries, truly showing what’s possible in South African winemaking.
