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
This Chardonnay offers fresh aromas of freshly grated lemon zest and citrus orchard, leading to flavors of apricot purée and lime sorbet on the palate. The extended lees contact during winemaking enhances the mouthfeel, providing a nuanced and refreshing finish.
Food Pairing
The wine pairs well with dishes such as grilled seafood, light pastas, and fresh salads, complementing its crisp acidity and citrus notes.
