Gavi the Great!

Gavi has been getting a brilliant reception recently, with many people breaking from old drinking habits and trying new wines. Made from the Cortese grape, Gavi is a great alternative for Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio drinkers as it is light and fruity like a Sauvignon but has a bit more character than a Pinot Grigio.

With classic flavours of zesty fruit, light floral characters and a crisp steely minerality Gavi is best served with freshly caught fish and shellfish. However, this wine is also great for sipping in the sunshine (if we ever get any?) making it a fantastic choice for summer.

And if you don't believe the hype all three Gavi's in Alexander Wines portfolio won an award at the recent International Wine Challenge and Decanter Awards. Check them out.........
