JORDAN NINE YARDS CHARDONNAY 2008

The ultimate expression of Jordan terroir. The Nine Yards Chardonnay is made in a "Reserve" Style, from a barrel selection from their best vineyard site. Stylistically different to the Jordan Chardonnay, with this wine they went "The Whole Nine Yards"!

Was ~~£17.99~~ now £14.99!!!!

VINEYARD
Situated between 250 - 280m above sea level, this 19 year old, site-specific vineyard is planted to both Burgundian and Davis clone Chardonnay.

East-facing Hutton and Glenrosa soils, innovative canopy management and low crop levels ensure that the vineyard produces smaller berries with concentrated citrus flavours.

The grapes were harvested on the 25th February 2008 at between 22.2°B and 23°B.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Chardonnay

VINIFICATION
The grapes were crushed and pressed immediately after de-stemming, the juice was barrel-fermented in traditional 228-litre French oak barrels (95% new and 5% second fill) from selected Burgundian cooperages (François Frères, Rousseau, Seguin Moreau and Taransaud). The barrels were inoculated with a selection of French yeast. A percentage of the wine went through natural fermentation.

Differing stylistically from the varietal Jordan Chardonnay, the wine was matured "sur lie" for 12 months, with regular barrel-rolling to accentuate the rich, leesy character.

After a light filtration, the wine was bottled on the 11th February 2009.

TASTING NOTE
Butterscotch, spicy cloves, lemon/lime and orange peel with complex mineral citrus flavours. A rich mouthfeel and subtly balanced toasty French oak integrate with the long, tropical peach and melon finish.

CLOSURE: Cork

ALCOHOL: 13.5% (10.1 units of alcohol)
