Jordan The Outlier Sauvignon Blanc 2022

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’.

The grapes received 6 – 10 hours skin contact before being gently pressed in a “pneumatic” tank press.

65% new and 35% second-fill barrels (mostly Nevers and Alliers with a 10% American oak barrel selection). The wine spent 6 months “sur lie” with occasional “batonage” to accentuate the leesy character. 38% tank-fermented sauvignon blanc was added to the blend.
