What’s it like?

Jordan Nine Yards Chardonnay Reserve 2008 is a spectacular wine. Big rich buttery flavours on the palate initially, rounded off by the perfect amount of oak on the finish. It’s luscious and rich without being too heavy or cloying. The oak integration is just perfection. Platter awarded this vintage 4.5 stars, and previous vintages have won a host of awards in the past. The name is derived from Gary and Kathy “going the whole 9 yards” to create the best Chardonnay possible!
