Alvi's Drift 221 Chenin Blanc (13,5%)

The ripe Chenin Blanc grape bunches are picked by hand in the early morning in order to keep the quality and freshness of the grape optimal. The grapes are destemmed and carefully crushed, followed by fermentation with wild yeast strains. 60% of the juice is fermented in French oak barrels, with regular stirring of the fine 'lie', which gives the wine extra complexity. This wine is then blended with the remaining 40% that is not fermented and matured in wood. This ensures the delicious freshness that is so characteristic of Alvi's Drift wines. The wine has a light and bright straw colour. In the glass, the wine reflects like clear crystal. The aroma is complex and dominated by nectarine and peach complemented by nicely integrated aromas of pear, apple blossom and vanilla. The wine provides a full and filmy mouthfeel, the taste is elegant and creamy with a long finish.
