Today, the third generation is at the helm, but it all began in 1928. Albertus Viljoen van der Merwe was a gentleman farmer in Worcester, about a two-hour drive from Cape Town. Because his Alfalfa estate straddles the Breede River, he built a drift (Afrikaans for bridge) in 1928 to provide easier access to both plots. This water crossing soon became known as Alvi's Drift. Alvi van der Merwe now uses this name as a tribute to his grandfather for the wines they market.\n\n\n \nThe family business has a total of 420 hectares planted with grapes. They still farm, owning 4,000 cows, 200,000 chickens, and orchards growing citrus and peach trees. Alvi's brother Johan manages the farm, and Alvi himself oversees the vineyards. A total of 19 grape varieties are grown in the Alvi's Drift vineyards, including this Alvi's Drift Signature Shiraz. The vineyards are located in the heart of the Breede River Valley in the Worcester district. Together with their highly dedicated team of winemakers, Alvi produces exquisite wines that have earned international acclaim.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The vinification of Alvi's Drift Shiraz\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe grapes are first crushed. Immediately after crushing, the juice is drained to enhance the wine's color and body. The wine was fermented on the skins and hand-pumped five times a day to gently maximize color extraction. After fermentation, the wine is aged for eight months in French and American oak barrels, where it also completes malolactic fermentation.\n\n\n\n This Shiraz has a ruby ​​red color. The wine is elegant and beautifully balanced. Aromas of red berries, white pepper, chocolate, and a hint of vanilla emerge upon swirling the glass. All these aromas are reflected in the full flavor of this Alvi's Drift Shiraz. The finish is surprisingly long and pleasant. The oak, fruit, and tannins intertwine beautifully. This subtlety and elegance are rare for a New World wine.","brand":"De Monnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775777509455,"sku":"8740","price":7.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/alvi-s-drift-shiraz_8740.webp?v=1770111007"},{"product_id":"alvis-drift-fusion-reserve-cape-blend","title":"Alvi's Drift Fusion Reserve Cape Blend","description":"All grapes come from Alvi's Drift's own farm.

The full, silky tannins on the palate support the juicy red fruits and lingering sweet oak notes that follow.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775800053839,"sku":"10751","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/red-heads-princess-of-thieves_10751.webp?v=1770120933"},{"product_id":"que-sera-sirah-shiraz-paul-mas","title":"Que Sera Sirah Shiraz Paul Mas","description":"The Paul Mas winery is a true family estate that has been producing wines in the south of France since 1892. Over the years, significant investments have been made, and today, it boasts a state-of-the-art winery. Recognizable grape varieties are often used, and Paul Mas's motto is, \"You must be able to taste the grape in all its beauty.\" And that's true of all Paul Mas wines: beauty and purity in their purest form. But that doesn't come easily, and hard work in the vineyards is essential. Over the years, we've gotten to know Jean-Claude Mas better, and today he produces some of the finest wines. He's also known as the Pioneer of the Languedoc because he consistently surprises us with unique grape varieties and the latest creations, like this red Que Sera Sirah Shiraz.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The old Shiraz vineyard for this red Que Sera Sirah\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis red wine is made from two different grape varieties: Petite Sirah and Shiraz. Syrah, Petite Sirah, Shiraz... they're all the same, right? Not quite. While all these grapes produce big, bold, spicy red wines, one of them (varieties) is different. In short, Syrah and Shiraz refer to the same type of dark grape grown in two different regions. The vines are thirty years old and are currently producing a magnificent harvest, thanks in part to the climate. The vineyards are bathed in sunshine and a strong sea breeze, making them exceptionally healthy. Once the grapes reach full ripeness, they are harvested by hand in the morning. This is all done under the supervision of Paul Mas!\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wood aging for the red Que Sera Sirah Shiraz wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe grapes arrive at Paul Mas in small crates to minimize the risk of damage. After pressing, a large portion is aged in oak for several months. Paul Mas uses American oak because he believes it's a better fit for the grape variety. And he's right, because this red Que Sera Sirah Shiraz has a powerful aroma of balsamic, spice, and cassis and violet aromas. The palate is truly powerful, with a full attack of black fruit accompanied by notes of spice, vanilla, and tobacco. Fine nuances of blackcurrant and chocolate are evident on the palate. What a superb wine, and for this price, we wonder how it's possible.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775799955535,"sku":"11070","price":8.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/que-sera-sirah-shiraz-paul-mas_11070.webp?v=1770121059"},{"product_id":"nederburg-the-manor-shiraz","title":"Nederburg The Manor Shiraz","description":"The Shiraz grapes for the red wine come from vineyards around Paarl, Durbanville, Philadelphia, and Stellenbosch. Each vineyard has its own distinct character, giving the wine its unique structure, fruit, and power.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The wine cellars of Nederburg farm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Nederburg story began in 1791 when German immigrant Philippus Wolvaart acquired 49 hectares of land in the Paarl Valley. He named the farm, with its 49 hectares of vineyards, Nederburg. The farm is situated between the Berg and Palmiet rivers, better known as the Paarl. Surrounding the farm are cellars where wine was fermented as early as the 1930s, a revolutionary development at the time. Even today, the wines are still made using contemporary methods. The classic wines with vibrant flavors are the result of tradition and talent combined with passion, precision, and patience.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Western Cape. The winemaker works hand-in-hand with the grape growers to manage each vineyard block to ensure the highest quality fruit for this wine. The diverse microclimates and soil types associated with each vineyard contribute to the wine's complexity. The grapes were harvested by hand and machine from mid-February to late March. The fruit was crushed on the skins for two weeks and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 25 to 28 degrees Celsius. The wine was aged for twelve to eighteen months in contact with French and American oak.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The ripe flavors of The Manor Shiraz\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAfterward, we savor this Shiraz, with aromas of plums and cherries, but also notes spicy oak. The palate reveals ripe plums, cherries, and dark chocolate. The tannins are beautifully balanced. Excellent to drink on its own, but also a delicious pairing with meat dishes such as lamb or traditional roast, oxtail, and barbecue steaks.","brand":"Walraven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775804444751,"sku":"11183","price":9.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/nederburg-the-manor-shiraz_11183.webp?v=1770195042"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/druif-shiraz.oembed?page=4","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
