Alvis Drift Icon Range Albertus Viljoen Chenin Blanc 2018

The wine has a light and brilliant straw colour. The complex nose is dominated by nectarine and peach fruit with well-integrated toasty oak characters. The palate is rich and creamy with a viscous mouthfeel. Aromas of roasted cashew nuts and vanilla pods tease the senses. Soft, full and round but elegant, the palate lingers for an eternity.
