MORE INFORMATION:
Stunning old gold with a copper hue
colour reflects the ripeness of the grapes
as well as the time spent developing in the
oak barrels. The Alvi’s Drift “Nectarinia”
2016 is a dazzling desert wine which
delivers a profusion of perfumed fruit:
rich and ripe pineapple, grapes, and
marmalade with hints of potpourri
deliciously enveloped with caramel
and hints of exotic spice. The wine
has a beautiful, viscous, and decadent
mouthfeel and a sweetness elegantly
balanced with an energizing acidity that
persists to an endless finish.
This wine does well with citrus based
desserts and will compliment Crème
Brulee, fresh fruit salad or rich cheese
like Munster, Époisses de Bourgogne
or Reblochon. Serve between 4-8˚C.
Great ageing potential for up to 20 years
