JORDAN SAUVIGNON BLANC 2009

Jordan really do continue to perform with this classic Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc. It has a really intense and complex fruit structure of green and red pepper, aromatic, herbaceous notes on nose. Its new world roots come through on the palate as tropical fruits shine adding weight to the minerally finish.

VINEYARD
The grapes used for the 2009 Jordan Sauvignon Blanc were harvested from selected east and south facing hill side slopes at Jordan, ranging in age from 9 to 27 years.

Situated on granite and loamy soils (predominant soil forms Glenrosa and Hutton) with the elevation ranging between 220m and 380m above sea level.

Clones SB 11, 159, 215 and 317 were harvested at different ripeness levels to add fruit complexity to the wine, and vertical hedge trellising and innovative canopy management techniques were used to enhance the intense flavours.

By retaining the outer leaf layer and removing leaves in the centre of the canopy to form a tunnel-like effect promoting good air-flow, grapes were unaffected by botrytis and higher pyrazine levels associated with much cooler vintages could be obtained.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Sauvignon Blanc

VINIFICATION
Harvested between 23rd February - 2nd March 2009

The grapes were destemmed before receiving approximately 6 hours skin contact.

After gentle pressing in a pneumatic "tank" press, the juice was cold settled for 2 days before being racked and inoculated with selected yeasts. All the vineyard blocks were kept separate and fermentation took place between 12-16°C.

TASTING NOTE
Intense complex fruit structure of green and red pepper, with aromatic, herbaceous blackcurrant on the nose. This follows through on the palate, adding tropical fruit and a complex green fig minerality on the finish.
