FLAGSHIP

The mighty Verreaux’s eagle (Aquila verreauxii) is a large predatory bird with a wingspan of up to 2.3 m, native to sub-Saharan Africa. Perceived as a threat to livestock, this spectacular bird has become one of the most persecuted bird species in the world. At Alvi’s Drift, we are actively taking steps to create an environment that will encourage and protect the Verreaux’s eagle and other eagle species on our farm. Our winery honours this great eagle with a unique range of wines which encapsulates the boldness and elegance of this magnificent bird.

221

In 1928, the rugby world took note when unknown, 19-year old Albertus Viljoen van der Merwe (“Alvi” to his friends), scored the first try in history against the All Blacks on African soil. With our 221 range, we pay tribute to our family patriarch and our phenomenal Springbok rugby team.

SPARKLING

The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes for our sparkling wine range are carefully hand-harvested early in the season during the cool morning hours, preserving the crisp, fresh acidity so essential to producing a magnificent sparkling wine.

CAP CLASSIQUE

Growing in the ancient limestone soils so characteristic of the Breede River Valley region, our mature Chardonnay vineyard is ideally situated for yielding grapes of the quality, character and complexity required for an outstanding Cap Classique sparkling wine. Our Pinot Noir vineyards are situated on north-facing slopes, with grapes grown in black slate soil.
