Description
ADS Chardonnay Pinot Noir
The Grapes
Our vineyards are grown using a philosophy of minimal intervention andfertilised with natural compost produced on the farm. The best blocks of eachvarietal at Alvi's Drift are meticulously managed to optimise quality. Thechardonnay and pinot noir were hand harvested and vinified separately.
In The Cellar
The free run juice was softly removed from the skins using pneumatic bagpresses. The juice was clarified and cold fermented with selected yeaststrains to maximize fruit and flavor retention. The wine was aged on lees andbattonaged in tank to add fullness and complexity to the palate.
The Wine
The wine has a lovely pale straw colour. The chardonnay gives the winearomas of melon and peaches, the pinot noir adds strawberries. There arealso hints of orange blossom and Granny Smiths.
The resulting wine is a light, yet complex gem, perfect with salmon, chicken,veal and cream based dishes
