Jordan Blanc Fume 2007

The grapes received 6 - 12 hours skin contact before being gently pressed in a “pneumatic” tank press. After inoculation the juice was fermented in 45% new, 30% second-fill and 25% third-fill barrels (mostly Nevers and Alliers with a 20% American Oak barrel selection to add a spicy character). The wine spent 8 months “sur lie” with occasional “batonage” to accentuate the leesy character. 42% tank-fermented Sauvignon Blanc was added to the blend.
