Jordan The Real McCoy Riesling is a captivating South African wine that gleams vividly with a golden hue. It boasts a delightful bouquet of citrus, floral notes and fresh apple that invite a sip. Infused with flavours of honey, peach and zesty lemon, it stimulates the palate to a lingering finish. This off-dry Riesling demonstrates impressive balance between sweetness and refreshing acidity. Adeptly crafted by the Jordan vineyard, renowned for terroir-driven wines, it beautifully exhibits the richness of Stellenbosch's soil. Unconventionally aged in French oak, this wine offers complexity that pairs excellently with spicy and fragrant dishes.

Tasting Notes

The German clone grapes were vinified and once the perfect balance between sugar and acidity was reached, the fermentation was stopped to retain a hint of natural fruit sugars. Intense flavours of lime through to white peach and Granny Smith apples. A superb accompaniment to the lighter spectrum of Asian cuisine.
