Jordan Wine Estate CWG Chardonnay 2024
100% Chardonnay
Wine of Origin Stellenbosch
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 substrata 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 integrates superbly with the tropical fruit finish.
Well-structured, this wine will reward careful cellaring for many years to come.
