Alvi’s Drift Chardonnay Reserve 2022

Pale, leaf-gold in colour with a lime green-edge, this wine boasts forthcoming aromas of lemon curd, with hints of vanilla and buttery tropical notes of pineapple and melon. Elegant and creamy on the palate, the fruit follows through with a delectably lingering, lemon-cream aftertaste. Boasting a beautiful balance between fruit, acids, and gentle tannins, this wine will mature well for up to eight years.

Serve with grilled, lightly spiced chicken and duck, grilled fish with lemon-butter or hollandaise sauce, or a classic beurre blanc sauce using this wine as ingredient. Enjoy with soft, ripe Brie or Camembert cheese, or hard cheeses like Grana Padano or South Africa’s classic Huguenot cheese.
