Product information "Alvi's Drift Signature Shiraz 2020"
The Alvi's Drift Signature Shiraz is elegant and well-balanced. It has a balanced scent of white pepper and red berries as well as a hint of vanilla and chocolate. On the palate it is round and harmonious with amazing length and fullness. Oak wood, fruit and tannins are wonderfully integrated and give it an elegance that, according to the cellar master, is rarely found in the new wine world.

The grapes were immediately crushed on arrival at the winery and fermented in open fermentation tanks for seven days. The juice was drained from the skins to increase the intensity of the substances released by the skins for the remaining residue. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was matured for eight months in American oak barrels.
