Jordan Chameleon White 2003

An intriguing blend - grassy, green fig Sauvignon Blanc and zesty, citrus-melon Chardonnay, balanced by a long, creamy finish.
The gardens and willow trees at Jordan are home to the Cape Dwarf Chameleon. Chameleon is a wonderfully apt name, expressing the changing flavours of the component varieties of this fruit-driven blend.
