Fermentation was done between 26-28°C. Malolactic fermentation was completed in older 225L French oak barrels where the wine was matured for a total of 16 months. Whole bunches were placed in 400L amphora and went through carbonic maceration which adds depth and complexity to the wine.

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 periods. This adds a unique characteristic to Jordan wines.
