Signature Chenin Blanc

White Wine
100% Chenin Blanc

Star bright with tinges of lime and green, this wine boasts delightful aromas of white peach, blossoms and citrus. It has a crisp acidity, balanced beautifully with the fruit following through on the palate, backed by a soft, creamy texture that lingers long, with a zesty, refreshing lime finish.

HERITAGE

Alvi's Drift winery takes its name from the low-water bridge over the Breede River which cuts through the family farm. Albertus Viljoen "Oupa Alvi" van der Merwe was instrumental in having this bridge built back in 1930.

Oupa Alvi’s son Bertie started wine production on the family farm and today Bertie’s son, Alvi’s Drift winemaker Alvi van der Merwe produces the winery’s award-winning South African wines, enjoyed by wine lovers around the globe.

The wines in our Signature range are true to our winery’s trademark, fruit-driven style. These outstanding wines offer wine lovers exceptional value – in the words of Alvi’s Drift winemaker, Alvi van der Merwe, “think ‘great’, for the price of good!”.

ON THE VINES

With an ideal Mediterranean microclimate, an abundance of soil diversity and water from the life-giving Breede River, the Alvi’s Drift vineyards are ideally positioned for producing remarkable South African wines of unique character and complexity.  

Our vineyards are sustainably fertilised with natural compost produced on our farm. Come harvest time, our grapes are selectively hand harvested in the cool, early morning hours to ensure optimal quality and flavour.

IN THE CELLAR

In the Alvi’s Drift cellar, our winemaking team strongly focuses on preserving the fruit-driven expression of the grapes that go into our award-winning South African wines.

Only premium free-run juice of the highest quality is used to create this unwooded, fruit-driven wine. To ensure maximum flavour retention, clarified juice was cold fermented after which the wine spent several months on lees, before fining and stabilisation.

Alvis Drift Winery

"I’ve always loved our Chenin Blancs. We have a very old clone of Chenin Blanc rootstock that does really well for us. Terroir, soils, different rootstocks are all extremely important, but picking grapes at optimal ripeness, and then being clear about your vision, your end goal for the product – there is nothing more important than that."
