Product information "Alvi's Drift Reserve Drift Fusion 2021"
Alvi's Drift Reserve Drift Fusion is a classic Cape Blend made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage. Full-bodied and dense, it reveals notes of ripe blackberries, mulberries and plums, finely integrated with subtle hints of vanilla and cashew nut from the ageing in French barrique. A great drop!

Immediately after crushing the grapes, about 30% of the grape juice was drawn off, the rest was fermented on the skins in open tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was matured for 22 months in a combination of French and American barriques, one third of which were new wood, the rest being second and third wood.
