Why you don’t have to spend more than R100 for quality South African wine

Premium Winemaking, Everyday Enjoyment

At Alvi’s Drift, we believe exceptional wine shouldn’t come with a premium price tag. Our Signature Selection proves that affordable South African wine can be every bit as expressive and elegant as high-end labels. Each bottle captures the fruit’s purity, balance, and craftsmanship that define our winemaking – all for under R100 per bottle.

From crisp Sauvignon Blanc and vibrant Chenin Blanc to silky Merlot and bold Shiraz, every wine within this selection reflects our family’s passion for quality and the authenticity of the Western Cape’s terroir.

 

The Value of Vineyard Ownership

True value starts in the vineyard. Because we grow, harvest, ferment, and bottle everything on our farm in the Breede River Valley, we control quality at every step. This hands-on approach allows us to produce wines that are both affordable and consistently excellent – without any middleman markups.

By investing in sustainable vineyard management and using modern cellar technology, we ensure that every bottle of Alvi’s Drift Signature Selection wine offers freshness, balance, and purity of flavour.

 

Affordable Doesn’t Mean Ordinary

While many wines at this price point focus on volume, we focus on craftsmanship. Our Signature wines are made in small batches using estate-grown grapes and gentle winemaking methods that preserve the natural fruit character.

Our Signature Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and zesty, our Merlot soft and velvety, and our Shiraz bold yet smooth – all crafted with the same precision and care that define our Reserve and Icon Ranges.

This is where quality meets accessibility. Proof that everyday wine can still be extraordinary.

 

Award-Winning Quality at Everyday Prices

The Alvi’s Drift Signature Selection has been recognised with awards from respected competitions such as the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards, confirming that award-winning South African wines don’t have to break the bank. These accolades reflect our dedication to producing wines of integrity, balance, and regional character. Wines that bring excellence to every table.

When we say “excellent value wine from the Western Cape,” we mean it in the truest sense: handcrafted, authentic, and world-class.

 

Crafted for Real Moments

The Signature Selection isn’t about collecting, it’s about connecting. These wines are equally suited to shared meals, spontaneous celebrations, and quiet evenings at home. Whether you’re hosting a braai or enjoying a midweek dinner, there’s a Signature wine to elevate the moment without stretching your budget.

Every bottle embodies our philosophy: exceptional wine for everyone.

The Alvi’s Drift Signature Selection represents a simple promise – that you never have to compromise on quality to drink well on a budget. We combine estate-grown fruit, award-winning expertise, and family passion to create wines that reflect the heart of the Western Cape.
