Jordan CWG Chardonnay 2018
Specially made for the CWG Auction, this benchmark Chardonnay from the oldest hillside 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 twelve months has resulted in a reserve style 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 mouth-feel and balanced oak integrate superbly with the tropical fruit finish.
