With so many delicious options in the Alvi’s Drift Signature Selection, choosing your favourite varietal can feel like choosing your favourite song – it depends on your mood, your meal, and your moment. The good news? Every wine in the range shares the same foundation: estate-grown fruit, vibrant flavour, and outstanding value at under R100 per bottle.
Whether you lean toward crisp whites or plush reds, this quick guide will help you discover the wine that best suits your taste.
For Lovers of Fresh & Fruity Whites
If you love brightness, start with our Signature Chenin Blanc or Signature Sauvignon Blanc.
-
Chenin Blanc offers juicy peach, pear, and citrus notes with a soft, round texture, making it a perfect choice for seafood, chicken, or summer salads.
-
Sauvignon Blanc offers zesty lime and tropical fruit notes, as well as lively acidity – ideal for pairing with sushi, goat’s cheese, or lazy afternoons outdoors.
Both are refreshing, fruit-forward, and proudly South African, expressing the natural purity of our Breede River Valley vineyards.
For Fans of Smooth, Comforting Reds
If your palate leans toward warmth and richness, you’ll find comfort in our Signature Merlot, Shiraz, or Pinotage.
-
Merlot is smooth and velvety, with flavours of plum, cherry, and a hint of mocha – a perfect match for pasta or roast vegetables.
-
Shiraz brings bolder spice and dark-berry depth, tailor-made for braais and hearty dishes.
-
Pinotage, our proudly South African varietal, combines juicy fruit with smoky undertones – versatile, vibrant, and unique to our soil.
These reds deliver depth and softness in equal measure, making them ideal casual dinner wines at under R100 per bottle.
Want Something a Little Different? Try Viognier or Rosé
If you enjoy aromatic whites or lighter pink wines, explore the Signature Viognier or Pinotage Rosé.
-
Viognier bursts with peach blossom and honeysuckle: smooth yet exotic.
-
Pinotage Rosé is dry, elegant, and endlessly refreshing – perfect for picnics or summer sundowners.
Each offers something just a little unexpected, proving that great variety exists even within everyday wines.
