The Alvi’s Drift Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is an amazing wine that offers the best of both worlds: crisp and fruity. With hand-harvested grapes from cool limestone slopes in the Breede River Valley, this wine will amaze you with its great complexity and body.
In the glass, it has a pale-yellow colour with a golden hue. It is forthcoming and attractive on the nose, with abundant tropical fruit, stone fruit, citrus and minerality. It delivers well on the palate with a crisp freshness, granadilla, lemon, lime, hay and green bell peppers. It has a long, crisp finish of lemon zest and minerality.
This wine is best served chilled well, enjoyed on its own or with a seafood risotto, prawn salad or chicken pasta. It is ready to drink now or in the next seven years, as it shows good potential to develop over time. It is a great wine and coming at a great price too!
