Jordan Inspector Péringuey Chenin Blanc 2021

Jordan Inspector Péringuey Chenin Blanc 2021

R170,00

Named after Louis Albert Péringuey, the 19th Century Inspector-General of Vineyards in the Cape, who led the fight against phylloxera and supervised the importation of American rootstocks onto which the various vineyard varieties were grafted. The French oak adds style and class to this magical grape. A contemporary and deliciously mouth-filling experience of white pear, quince and green pineapple interlaced with a spicy complexity.

More Information

In the cellar

The grapes were gently pressed followed by cold-settling for 2 days. The juice was barrel-fermented in 228L in 2nd & 3rd fill Burgundian-shaped barrels, and matured “sur-lie” in the barrel for 7 months with occasional “barrel rolling” to add richness to the palate. To accentuate the fresh citrus flavour, 30% tank-fermented Chenin Blanc was blended with the barrel fermented portion.

In the vineyard

The grapes were harvested between the 23rd of February and the 1st of March 2021 at 23°B.
