The Blanc de Blancs Special Cuvée 2017 from Jordan in Stellenbosch is all about focus and drive. From 100% Chardonnay, this Cap Classique was disgorged after 24 months on the lees. The nose shows some flinty reduction before green apple, lemon and some yeasty character while the palate is pleasantly lean with fresh acidity and a fine, persistent mousse. Price: R365 a bottle.
CE’s rating: 91/100.
