Description
Stellenbosch is South Africa's most famous wine region. It boasts the most top estates, is surrounded by mountains (Helderberg and Simonsberg), and boasts vineyards in every direction. Stellenbosch boasts the only university in South Africa with a viticulture department. Although two-thirds of the vineyards are planted with white grapes, there is a growing realization that Stellenbosch is destined for red wine.
The Jordans have a special affinity for Chardonnay. In recent years, the grape has become their specialty. The fruit for this wine comes from vines planted between 1984 and 2001. The vineyards are located on the cooler south- and east-facing slopes between 250 and 310 meters in elevation. Gary praises the soil of gravel, sand, and granite atop a layer of clay, ideal for Chardonnay. The wine is aged in premium French oak barrels. 50% of the barrels are replaced annually. Maturation lasts approximately nine months "sur lie" in the barrels. To add some extra freshness to the wine, 10% unwooded Chardonnay is used in the final blend.
This wine is a powerful expression of Chardonnay. The aroma is rich in fruit, including citrus and fresh pineapple, and the nose is creamy with a touch of butter and vanilla, along with hints of citrus and hazelnut. The palate has a silky texture with ripe acidity, vanilla, and minerality on the long finish. However, the wine is never overweight. It exudes elegance, and its remarkable length is evident on the palate. A magnificent Chardonnay at a very attractive price. In 2014, this wine won the title of "Best Chardonnay of the World" at the World Wine Awards and was voted Best Chardonnay of the World by Decanter.

Jordan Winery is professionally run by Gary and Kathy Jordan. Not only do they make excellent wines, Jordan's restaurant, bistro and guesthouses are also worth a visit.
Kathy and Gary Jordan, after both working abroad for two years, took over the domain purchased by Gary's parents in 1982 in 1992. Fortunately, Gary was already involved in the planting in the 1980s. Gary is a geologist and used his knowledge to analyze the terroir to ensure that each grape variety was planted in the right place. Today, Jordan benefits greatly from these choices. Their vines are now mature enough to provide fantastic complexity, while other producers are just beginning to plant the right vines in the right soil. Jordan is the only estate in Stellenbosch that has vineyards planted in every direction. It is a real family business where high quality wines have been made for years. They combine the ripe, concentrated and fruity accessibility of the New World and the complex structure of classic wines. The international appreciations are therefore enormous. For example, the flagship, the Nine Yards hardonnay, has already been named 'Best Chardonnay of the World' twice by the wine magazine Decanter and has also won the Proefschrift Wijnconcours. In 2014, even the 'regular' Barrel Fermented Chardonnay was crowned 'Best Chardonnay in the World' by Decanter! In addition, they also became South African 'Producer of the Year' at IWSC in 2014.
The wines from the Chameleon range have been produced by Jordan since 1993. With the proceeds of these wines, 4 research projects are currently being funded that focus their research on the Kaapse Dwerg Kameleon (Kaapse Dwerg Verkleurmannetjie in Afrikaans). The habitat of this small chameleon species is threatened by urbanization and intensive agriculture, causing more and more of the animal's natural habitat (fynbos) to disappear. By gaining more insight into the living pattern of these (hard to find) animals, it is hoped that they can be saved from extinction. The wines used for this range naturally have the quality one would expect from Gary and Cathy Jordan, but are especially made for the moments that call for wine for festive and relaxed moments; in other words, perfect for a braai with friends!
