Jordan Assyrtiko 2025

Jordan Assyrtiko 2025

R299,00

Jordan is home to the first mother block of Assyrtiko in South Africa. Planted on dry, windy, north-facing slopes overlooking the sea, this ancient variety is a love letter from the Mediterranean, whilst capturing our pioneering spirit as we move towards a regenerative future.

ANALYSIS
Alc: 13%
Total Acid: 8.2 g/l

TASTING NOTES
Pure and aromatic, minerally rather than floral. Citrus peel with green, crunchy stone fruit and steely acidity which drives the wine. Flinty notes with an intense mouthfeel and a distinctive mineral salinity adding to the bright, savoury finish.
