mehrere Informationen

The Alvi's Drift Reserve Chardonnay is a great Chardonnay in the classic Burgundy style and impresses with its extraordinary elegance and balance. In the glass it presents itself delicately straw coloured and exudes seductive aromas of juicy peaches. On the palate, it is full-bodied and balanced, pampering the senses with nuances of tangy citrus fruit, white chocolate and a fragrant vanilla pod. A wonderfully complex Chardonnay!

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were hand picked in the early morning hours in the farm's vineyards. Upon arrival at the winery, the berries were pressed all over the bunch and then fermented in wood. Once fermentation was complete, the wine matured for 11 months in French oak on the lees. During this time, the yeast was stirred regularly to give the wine a creamier texture and a nice complexity.
