Jordan Nine Yards Chardonnay 2022 displays a youthful style, full of appealing complexity. Aromas of lime citrus and fragrant oak spice lift the nose. Notes of tropical fruits and toasty oak are also present. The palate is full-bodied with a delightful, mouth-filling texture. A lovely refreshing acidity balances the fruit. The clean finish lingers beautifully.
This powerful Chardonnay is an excellent partner for rich dishes. It pairs wonderfully with poached veal and béarnaise sauce. Try it with butternut ravioli and creamy mushroom sauce. The crushed juice was immediately pressed. Barrel fermentation occurred using selected French yeasts. Regular barrel rolling accentuated the rich, leesy character. The wine is still youthful and promises beautiful development with time.
