Jordan Chardonnay Russian River Valley

Alexander Valley AVA, USA

From Russian River Valley fruit, Jordan's Chardonnay is fermented in French oak with partial malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness. It displays ripe apple, pear, and toasty oak in a generous style that remains food-friendly.

Pairing intelligence

• starter: The wine's creamy texture and ripe fruit match lobster bisque's richness; its acidity keeps the soup from feeling heavy while the oak adds a complementary toasted note.
• main: Jordan Chardonnay's generous fruit and balanced oak are ideally suited to roasted chicken; tarragon's anise note and lemon butter's acidity mirror the wine's freshness.
• starter: The wine's ripe apple and subtle oak echo the bisque's sweet corn character; smoked bacon adds the savoury contrast while chipotle's heat is buffered by the wine's fruit weight.
• cheese: The wine's creamy texture and toasty oak harmonise with warm brie; honey bridges the wine's ripe fruit while pecans add a savoury-bitter balance.
