Jordan Inspector Peringuey Chenin Blanc 2021
South Africa, Stellenbosch
RRP: £15.55
Description
Named in memory of Inspector General of Vineyards by the Government of the Cape who lead the fight against phylloxera and the pioneer of entomology in South Africa. The oldest block on the estate carries the lower-yielding Montpellier clone and the smaller berries allow for great fruit concentration and generous flavours of white pear, quince and green pineapple. Barrel-fermented and matured “sur lie” for 7 months to highlight the varietal character of this magical grape.
