Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaJordan Village is a new wine made from declassified le Clos fruit taken from select parcels spanning two Niagara sub-appellations within Le Clos Jordanne Estate, the Claystone Estate, and Talon Ridge Estate. Post ferment and several days on skins, winemaker Thomas Bachelder moves the juice into 25 percent French barrels for 20 months. The result is a pleasant light earthy, savoury pinot with just enough fruit to balance its silky mouthfeel. You can drink this now or hold it for three to five years. Either way, it's an enjoyable drop of pinot that would be perfect with salmon or a pulled pork sandwich.Tasted: 15 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:
Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaIn addition to making Le Grand Clos for the third vintage in a row, in 2019 Thomas Bachelder also produced the Jordan Village line for the first time. This comes from select parcels in the Le Clos Estate vineyard, the Claystone Estate vineyard (both in Twenty-Mile Bench), and the Talon Ridge Estate vineyard in Vinemount Ridge. After a native ferment and several days on skins, this was moved to French barrels (25% new) for 20 months. It was bottled with a light filtration. Bright and silken with candle wax, cherry, raspberry, wet wood and moss. Tannins are fine and sticky / grippy, framing this to a baking spiced finish. Drink now, ideally with grilled sausages.Tasted: 21 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:
