Jordan Sauvignon Blanc 2021 "The Outlier"

Taste Profile: Barrel-fermented dimension adds additional depth and complexity whilst retaining the linear qualities associated with grapes planted on south-east facing aspects. A dense portrayal of sun-kissed tropical fruits, a true ‘outlier’. Tropical fruits, grass and light oak spice notes.

Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc. 

Serving Tips: Best enjoyed chilled at 8°-9°C from a large white wine glass immediately after opening. Pairs best with veal, lamb and seafood.

Winemaking: The grapes received 6–10 hours skin contact before being gently pressed in a “pneumatic” tank press. After inoculation the juice was fermented in 10% new French oak barrels and the rest in second, third and fourth-fill barrels (mostly Nevers and Alliers with a 10% American oak barrel selection). The wine spent 8 months “sur lie” with occasional “batonage” to accentuate the leesy character. Then, 40% tank-fermented sauvignon blanc was added to the blend.
