Jordan Barrel Fermented Chardonnay
3170 €
Jordan Barrel Fermented Chardonnay comes from one of South Africa's most highly regarded wine regions, Stellenbosch. Jordan's vineyards lie on cool southern and eastern slopes, reached by both the maritime influence of False Bay and cool ocean breezes. This makes it possible to retain Chardonnay's freshness even in a sunny climate.
The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay and fermented in French oak barrels. Nine months of ageing on the lees gives the wine a creamy texture and elegant depth, without the oak dominating the fruit. The aroma offers lemon cream, baked lemon biscuit, orange zest, a light vanilla note and roasted nuts. The taste is rich but balanced – a creamy texture meets fresh acidity and a long mineral finish. If this wine leaves you peckish, you can pair it with bolder flavours!
Jordan Wine Estate is a family business known for its Burgundian-style Chardonnays and Bordeaux-style red wines. The winery's philosophy is to use the most suitable growing site for each grape variety, in order to achieve maximum balance between elegance, freshness and concentration. Jordan's Chardonnays have earned international recognition, including IWSC gold medals.
