Why You'll Love It This is premium Albariño at its finest—single-vineyard, from 40-year-old pergola-trained vines on granite soils, with an extraordinary 36 months lees ageing. The extended lees contact creates remarkable complexity and texture rarely found in Albariño. With 96 points from Decanter and indigenous yeast fermentation, this wine represents exceptional quality and age-worthiness from one of Rías Baixas' most respected producers. Meet the Producer Bodegas Granbazán is one of Rías Baixas' leading estates, dedicated to producing world-class Albariño that showcases the unique terroir of Galicia. The estate focuses on single-vineyard expressions and extended lees ageing to create wines of exceptional depth and longevity. Vineyard & Production Vines averaging 40 years old are pergola-trained in shallow granite soils in the Finca Tremoedo vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested into 17kg crates to preserve integrity. After 12 hours contact with the skins, the free-run juice undergoes fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel. The wine is aged on fine lees for 36 months, developing remarkable complexity and texture. Tasting Notes Ripe citrus and orchard fruit aromas with a touch of honeysuckle. The palate is gently rounded, with lemon and stone fruit notes backed by appealing floral characters, leesy notes and a long mineral finish. Complex, textured, and elegant. Perfect Pairings Perfect with seafood, shellfish, grilled fish, octopus, scallops, or creamy risotto. Also excellent with Asian cuisine and aged cheeses. A wine for special occasions.

A barrel selection of the finest Chardonnay fruit from the estate, it represents the ultimate expression of Jordan terroir, crafted with the same ambition and precision as the world's great white Burgundies. Why You'll Love It The name says it all. Jordan went the whole nine yards with this wine, and it shows. Partially wild yeast fermented and matured for 11 months in French oak barriques, Nine Yards is a Chardonnay of genuine complexity, depth, and age-worthiness. The Jordan Estate in Stellenbosch is one of South Africa's most respected producers, combining a stunning mountain terroir with meticulous winemaking to produce wines that consistently punch at the highest level. This is a wine for those who know what great Chardonnay can be. Vineyard & Production Fruit is selected from the finest Chardonnay vineyards on the Jordan Estate, chosen for their exceptional quality and terroir expression. Partial wild yeast fermentation adds complexity and texture, while 11 months of maturation in French oak barriques builds richness, depth, and a beautifully integrated toasty character. The result is a wine of real substance and finesse that rewards both immediate drinking and time in the cellar. Tasting Notes Golden in colour with a rich, inviting depth. The nose is complex and layered, with aromas of butterscotch, spiced clove, and lime citrus alongside subtle toasty oak. On the palate, full and richly textured with a creamy mouthfeel, vibrant acidity, and a long, elegant, toasty oak finish that lingers beautifully. Serve at 10 to 12 degrees. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for roast chicken, lobster, pan-seared scallops, and rich fish dishes such as turbot or halibut. Also excellent alongside creamy pasta, soft washed-rind cheeses, and dishes with a buttery or cream sauce. The Blend 100% Chardonnay
