Jordan Chardonnay 2023 Russian River Valley (75cl)

Jordan Chardonnay is a white wine from Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, made from 100% Chardonnay. Primary fermentation splits roughly 30% stainless steel tanks and 70% new French oak barrels, with malolactic fermentation limited to 30% or less. Bâtonnage adds textural complexity and a creamy mid-palate. The nose opens with flint and wet stone, then Meyer lemon, lime zest, citrus blossom, white flowers and ripe Fuji apple. The palate is bright and focused, with lemon curd, Asian pear, ripe pear, fresh mango, mineral intensity and a thread of caramel from barrel ageing. The finish is clean and precise, carrying citrus oil and wet-stone minerality to a lingering close.
