The perfect ending to a meal—pair with crème brûlée or a cheese selection.

Stellenbosch Kloof enjoys a cooler Mediterranean climate with maritime influences from False Bay, 14km to the south, and a refreshing breeze channelled from the West Coast’s Benguela current 24km to the north-west. These two breezes culminate at the top end of the ravine and bring in early morning mists, especially from False Bay. Consequently, temperatures in our meso-climate can be measured at least 3° Celsius cooler than inland Stellenbosch during ripening peri- ods. This adds a unique characteristic to Jordan wines.

The utmost patience was needed to make this wine. The raisined grapes had 24 hours skin contact, followed by a full day of pressing these berries. The juice was racked into a stainless steel tank and fermented between 13 and 15°C using a specially selected strain of yeast capable of handling higher sugars.
