Proof That Value & Excellence Can Coexist
At Alvi’s Drift, we’ve always believed that great wine doesn’t have to come with a premium price tag. Our Signature Selection was crafted to embody that belief: approachable, fruit-driven wines that overdeliver on quality. But don’t just take our word for it. The proof lies in the recognition these wines receive on both the local and international stage.
Our award-winning South African wines, which retail for under R100 per bottle, consistently impress judges and critics alike – reaffirming that excellence can be both authentic and accessible.
Recognised on the World Stage
Over the years, several wines in the Alvi’s Drift Signature Selection have earned medals and accolades from respected competitions such as the:
-
Veritas Awards – South Africa’s longest-running and most prestigious wine competition.
-
Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards – Judged by global experts for innovation and quality.
-
Ultra Value Wine Challenge – Provides a professional, objective, and independent rating of South Africa’s best value wines.
These awards are more than symbols of success; they’re validation that our commitment to quality resonates with both experts and everyday wine lovers.
Why the Signature Selection Stands Out
Our Signature Selection succeeds because it combines estate-grown fruit, careful winemaking, and a philosophy of craft without compromise. Every bottle is made on our family farm in the Breede River Valley, where we oversee every stage of production to maintain consistency and freshness.
This control allows us to craft wines that meet international standards of quality, while remaining proudly affordable for local consumers.
Consistency Vintage After Vintage
Awards may be won in a single season, but maintaining quality is the real test. Each new release of the Signature Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Shiraz continues to earn strong reviews from critics and everyday drinkers alike.
That consistency is what turns first-time tasters into lifelong fans: proof that the Signature Selection’s balance of value and flavour stands the test of time.
The Alvi’s Drift Promise
For us, awards aren’t the goal – they’re confirmation that our approach works. By combining heritage, innovation, and integrity, we’ve built a range that bridges the gap between affordability and artistry.
Every medal and review reinforces our philosophy: “If we put our name on it, it has to be worthy of it.”
That’s the Alvi’s Drift Signature promise. Wine that’s both award-winning and accessible.
Quality You Can Trust, Awards You Can Taste
When you open a bottle of the Signature Selection, you’re not just enjoying a value wine; you’re experiencing the craft, care, and consistency that earned it recognition among South Africa and the world’s finest.
It’s proof that world-class winemaking isn’t about price. It’s about passion, precision, and a commitment to doing things right: every time, every bottle, every glass.
