Information about "Alvi's Drift Reserve Chardonnay 2022"

The Alvi's Drift Reserve Chardonnay 2022 enchants with its delicate straw yellow hue adorned with lime-green reflections. Its bouquet unfolds with alluring notes of lemon cream, butter, and ripe melon, captivating the senses. On the palate, it reveals stunning elegance, characterized by a well-defined structure and a refreshing acidity that dances gracefully. The wine's softly creamy texture is perfectly complemented by vibrant citrus nuances, seamlessly transitioning into velvety buttery undertones, concluding with a lingering, clean, and lemon-infused finish. An exquisitely complex Chardonnay!

Treatment in the cellar

Das Traubengut wurde in den Weingärten der Farm in den frühen Morgenstunden handgelesen. Mit Ankunft in der Kellerei wurden die Beeren am ganzen Bund gepresst und anschließend in Holz vergoren. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 11 Monate lang in französischer Eiche auf der Hefe. Während dieser Zeit wurde die Hefe regelmäßig aufgerührt, um eine cremigere Textur und eine schöne Komplexität in den Wein zu übertragen.
