Jordan 'The Real McCoy' Riesling, Stellenbosch 2022

Bright, crisp, lime driven Riesling.

The Real McCoy celebrates the legislative change regarding the naming of Riesling in South Africa.
Varying elevations and aspects allows us to grow a selection of classic varieties to specific sites that optimise this expression through their location.
The cooler south- and east-facing aspects, unique in Stellenbosch, hosts the more sensitive and aromatic white-skinned grape varieties.
Intense flavours of lime through to white peach and Granny Smith apple.
A superb accompaniment to the lighter spectrum of Asian cuisine.

Gary and Kathy Jordan have been making world-class wines at this top wine estate since 1993 on a farm with a history going back over 300 years. Together this husband and wife team is a phenomenon. Gary's parents, Ted and Sheelagh, bought the 164 hectare Stellenbosch property in 1982, and embarked on an extensive replanting programme, specialising in classic varieties suited to the different soils and slopes. The Jordan slopes face North, South, East and West, with vineyards lying at differing altitudes from 160 to 410 meters above sea level. The vineyards benefit from their close proximity to both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans and enjoy a mild, Mediterranean climate with a maritime influence.
