Persoonlijke gegevens
Stellenbosch is the most famous wine region in South Africa, Stellenbosch has the most top estates and is surrounded by mountains (Helderberg and Simonsberg) and has vineyards in every direction. Stellenbosch has the only university in South Africa with a viticulture department. Even though two-thirds of the vineyards are planted with white grapes, there is a growing awareness that Stellenbosch is destined for red wine. The Jordans have a thing for Chardonnay. In recent years, the grape has become their specialty.
The Nine Yards Chardonnay has matured sur lie for 13 months on oak barriques with regular rolling of the barrels to ensure the lees are well mixed with the wine. The nose is very refined with aromas of almond, nutmeg, a hint of melted butter but all well defined and not overpowering. The taste is very well balanced with fresh acids, a hint of orange peel, pear and peach. This is a very elegant and complex white wine and it is not for nothing that Jordan is the top domain for an excellent Chardonnay and they certainly prove this with this top model, the Nine Yards Chardonnay. The flagship, the Nine Yards Chardonnay has already been named 'Best Chardonnay of the World' twice by wine magazine Decanter and also won the Proefschrift Wijnconcours.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Nine Yards Chardonnay toont verfijnde aroma’s van amandel en nootmuskaat met een subtiele toets van gesmolten boter, frisse zuren en smaken van sinaasappelschil, peer en perzik door de 13 maanden sur lie en eikenrijping. Door die mooie balans tussen rijp fruit, frisse aciditeit en subtiel hout combineert hij uitstekend met gevogelte, witte vis en schelp- en schaaldieren, omdat hij zowel bij lichtere bereidingen als bij romige sauzen tegenwicht biedt zonder de smaken te overstemmen. Probeer hem bij geroosterde of licht gebakken kip met citroen en tijm, bij boter- of citroenachtige sauzen zoals beurre blanc over kabeljauw of schol, of bij zacht aangebakken coquilles en garnalen; ook bij een zomers terrasmoment met lichte visgerechten komt hij prachtig tot zijn recht. |

The 2017 Nine Yards Chardonnay has a nose of ripe spiced pear, cinnamon apples, sweetcorn and expressive oak tones. On the palate, the wine shows a focused balance with a clean and correct structure that is elegant and complex. There is a precision to the finish, with soft, integrated oak influences of vanilla and nutmeg that linger with spiced pear and lemon panna cotta flavors. Made with grapes that were crushed and pressed immediately after being destemmed, the resulting wine spent 10 months on the lees in 228-liter French oak barrels, 70% new. 11,000 bottles made.

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!
