mehrere Informationen

The Alvi's Drift 221 Pinotage flows into the glass in dark cherry red with a youthful purple edge and spoils the nose with a beguiling bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and red cherries, as well as a hint of fine spices and vanilla. The palate is also caressed by intense cherry nuances, which together with the lively acidity and smooth tannins leave nothing to be desired. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes were destemmed on arrival at the winery, crushed, allowed to cool swell and fermented on the skins for a week. For beautiful complexity, 30% of Cederberg's complex and naturally barrel-fermented older-vine Pinotage was blended with 70% steel-fermented Pinotage, transferring a wonderful freshness and vibrancy to the wine.
