🍇 The Cluver family's journey with this intriguing variety dates back to 1989? 
Paul Cluver Wines planted the very first Pinot Noir vines in Elgin. 

🍷 The very first Pinot Noir produced and bottled in the Elgin wine valley was the Paul Culver 1997 vintage. 
Today, 21 vintages later, it firmly remains one of our most sought after varieties.

So on international #PinotNoirDay add a special bottle of Paul Clüver Family Wines to your cart and celebrate the pioneering history of Paul Cluver Wines.

I had the pleasure of joining Premier South African winery, Haskell Vineyards at one of their 20th anniversary special winemaker dinners and what a momentous occasion it was.

The intimate yet relaxed dinners take place at the winery’s popular Longtable Restaurant with the theme being to cast light on different terroirs, regions and wines. I thoroughly enjoyed  the engagement between the winemakers, chef and guest at the dinner as we deconstructed some of the myths when it comes to food and wine pairing.

The next dinner takes place on Thursday 25 August. Haskell Vineyards' winemaker, Rudolph Steenkamp, will be joined by Janno Briers-Louw from Eenzaamheid, for a gastronomic feast of food and wine.

Date: Thursday 25 August
Venue: Longtable Restaurant at Haskell Vineyards
Time: 18h00 for 18h30
Cost: R475pp including three-course meal and all wines

I had the privilege to get a sneak peek of the 2021 Alvi’s Drift 221 100% Sauvignon Blanc and let me tell you, this wine is decadent.
The nose is inviting with notes of melon, peaches, apricot and lime. In the glass the appearance is pale straw and on the sip the wine delivers on the palate what was offered on the nose, the wine is dry and crisp with a velvety finish. Each mouthful more alluring than the preceding. If you’re in need of a fresh , well-rounded Sauvignon Blanc look no further than the 𝐀𝐥𝐯𝐢'𝐬 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝟐𝟐𝟏 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜.

 
The 221 Sauvignon Blanc will officially launch within the next few weeks with the 2022 vintage.
In the interim we can procure and indulge in the limited edition 2021 vintage https://alvisdrift.co.za/products/221-sauvignon-blanc
