THE GRAPES
Our vineyards are  grown using a philosophy  of minimal intervention and fertilised with natural compost produced on the farm.  The best blocks of each varietal at Alvi's Drift are meticuliously managed to optimise quality.  These chardonnay grapes were selectively hand harvested to ensure only healthy, ripe bunches were used for production.

IN THE CELLAR
Only the premium free run juice was used for this wine which was fermented with French oak.  The wine was aged on lees and battonaged regularly to maximise flavour and complexity. 
 
THE WINE
This lightly wooded blend has a lovely straw colour with aromas of ripe apricots, peaches and spanspek.  The palate is  full and creamy with subtle roasted nut characters balancing the fruit aromas.  Great with salty soft cheeses and white meat such as pork, chicken and turkey.
