Jordan
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. Unique by nature’s design 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. The Jordan philosophy combines the vineyards’ natural assets with innovative management creating a profound expression of terroir. Jordan Wine Estate – the perfect Synergy between Soul and Soil.
Description
The 2023 Jordan Unoaked Chardonnay is a vibrant and expressive white wine, inspired by the Chablis style. It opens with aromas of freshly grated lemon zest and citrus orchard, leading to flavors of apricot purée and lime sorbet on the palate. The wine is light and refreshing, with a balanced acidity and a clean, persistent finish. Extended lees contact imparts a subtle creaminess, enhancing its complexity and mouthfeel.
Food Pairing
This unoaked Chardonnay pairs excellently with tapas, light seafood dishes, grilled fish, and leafy summer salads. Its crisp acidity and fresh fruit profile also complement vegetarian dishes and serve well as an aperitif.
