The Drift Moveable Feast 2020
The Drift Estate lies in the rugged Overberg Highlands near Napier, where elevated vineyards between 390m and 550m above sea level experience cooler temperatures, strong winds and significant day-night shifts. These demanding conditions naturally limit yields and help preserve freshness, producing wines with concentration and energy rather than simple ripeness.
Â
Founded by Bruce Jack, The Drift has built a reputation for imaginative, site-driven wines that express this remote mountain farm. Moveable Feast is the estateâs signature red blend, with the composition shifting slightly each vintage according to which barrels perform best. This 2020 release combines RhĂŽne, Iberian and Mediterranean varieties, all estate-grown, then matured for around 20 months in barrel before blending. The result is a wine that values complexity, texture and personality over formula.
Â
Colour:
Deep ruby with youthful purple depth and a bright rim.
Â
Nose:
Mulberry, blackberry and ripe plum lead the aromatics, followed by dried herbs, fynbos, cracked pepper and subtle oak spice.
Â
Palate:
Medium- to full-bodied with layered dark fruit and a lively, energetic structure. Syrah brings spice and freshness, Malbec adds plush fruit, while the supporting varieties contribute savoury depth and grip. Tannins are polished, and the acidity keeps the wine focused and food-friendly.
Â
Finish:
Long and complex, finishing on black fruit, mountain herbs, pepper and a gentle earthy note.
- Food Pairing : The Drift Moveable Feast 2020 is built for flavourful, layered dishes. Pair it with slow-roasted lamb shoulder, venison pie or rich beef stew, where the wineâs tannin structure and dark fruit depth match savoury richness beautifully. It also shines with Mediterranean-style aubergine dishes, grilled mushrooms or bouillabaisse, as the herbal and peppery notes echo complex seasoning while the freshness keeps the palate lively.
