About this Item
“Being able to decide that moment and time when you are going to take that historical vintage and bring the grapes into the cellar, I think, is one of the most important decisions winemakers make.” - Gary Jordan
100% Chardonnay
• This benchmark Chardonnay from the oldest vineyards on Jordan Wine Estate is traditionally made according to classic Burgundian winemaking techniques.
• Intensely concentrated lemon-lime flavours and slow fermentation in 228 litre French oak barrels for 12 months have resulted in a reserve style wine with a new world twist.
• Quartzite veins through the 600-million-year-old granite sub-strata provide the backbone for the classic mineral flavours.
Tasting Notes: An iconic Chardonnay with intense mineral, lemon-lime flavours and hints of butterscotch and vanilla. The full, rich mouthfeel and balanced oak integrate superbly with the tropical fruit finish.
Well-structured, this wine will reward careful cellaring for many years to come.
