Wineboy rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

I love barrel fermented Chardonnays often showing what i describe as Burgundian characteristics. This one delivers. I might think Burgundy except for a nutty note that dominates mid-palate. Makes you long for another sip.

Natalie's Review

Jardin Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2015, Stellenbosch W.O., South Africa: This wine is called Jordan in South Africa, however since there is a Californian winery by that name, it goes by Jardin outside the country. Husband and wife team Gary and Kathy Jordan own and operate this winery. Generous toasty oak and golden apple on the nose and palate of this robust Chardonnay. Good balancing acidity. Pair with roast chicken. Love it! Big, generous Chardonnay with mouth-watering zip! Gorgeous aromas of green apple, butter and hazelnut yet there’s also a zingy lime finish to clean up after the richness. Make your tongue happy. Drink: 2017-2020. 663336 13.50% XD 750 mL $25.80 Score: 88/100. May 15, 2017 Sensational Shellfish Wine Full Review
