JORDAN CHENIN BLANC 2007

Continuing with the great work Jordan are doing, this is a classic South African Chenin Blanc with the added complexity of a little oak aging on the yeast lees which brings further richness to the palate. The result is a fabulously complex, rich and citrus wine, with tempting honey notes.

VINEYARD
The grapes were harvested from 20 - 26 year old, cool south- and east-facing vineyards, situated on decomposed granite and loamy soils, 220m above sea level.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Chenin Blanc

VINIFICATION
After gentle pressing followed by cold-settling for 2 days, the juice was barrel- fermented in 228l second-fill Burgundy-shaped barrels, and matured "sur-lie" in the barrel for 8 months with occasional "batonage" to add richness to the palate.

To accentuate the fresh citrus flavour, 39% tank-fermented Chenin Blanc was blended with the barrel portion.

The wine was bottled in November 2007.

TASTING NOTE
French oak adds style and class to this magical grape. A contemporary and deliciously mouth-filling experience of citrus cream, tropical fruit and honey interlaced with a spicy complexity.
