Persoonlijke gegevens
Jordan Wines Assyrtiko 2025 is a remarkably fresh and tightly structured white wine that combines the Mediterranean character of Assyrtiko with the cool precision for which Jordan Wines is known. This wine demonstrates how this grape variety, originally from Greece, can also display a distinctive and terroir-driven style outside its native habitat. The wine is unique, as it is primarily found on Santorini. Garry Jordan got married there and was so impressed, especially by the excellent acidity, that he established a small vineyard around his house using 100% Assyrtiko, and the result is truly exceptional. Always very, very rare.
Color, smell and taste
In the glass, the wine displays a clear, light straw yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose is clean and refined, with aromas of citrus peel, lime, green apple, and white peach, complemented by subtle floral notes and a slightly salty, mineral impression. On the palate, the wine is taut and energetic, with lively acidity that provides tension and length. Flavors of citrus, crisp apple, and a hint of spice are supported by a dry, precise structure. The finish is fresh, mineral, and slightly salty, giving the wine a distinctly gastronomic character.
Grape varieties and vineyards
This wine is made from 100% Assyrtiko grapes. The grapes come from carefully selected plots optimally suited for preserving freshness and natural acidity. The combination of soil and climate contributes to the mineral and taut profile so characteristic of this wine.
Harvest, vinification and maturation
After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed in a small basket press. The juice then undergoes two days of cold settling. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the pure, varietal character of the Assyrtiko. After fermentation, the wine is aged for four months on its fine lees, which adds texture and subtlety without sacrificing freshness.
Professional reviews
The wine was awarded 86 points by the Platter Wine Guide 2025 , which emphasized the fresh style, tension and purity of this Assyrtiko.
Drinking window
This Assyrtiko is appealing to drink young for its freshness and precision, but can also age for several years in bottle. A drinking window of approximately 2025 to 2029 is realistic, depending on personal preference.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2025 Jordan Wines Assyrtiko is een frisse en strakke witte wijn met levendige tonen van citrusschil, limoen, groene appel en witte perzik, aangevuld met subtiele florale en ziltige minerale aroma’s. De wijn biedt een energieke smaak met knapperige zuren en een droge, precieze structuur die perfect samengaat met gerechten zoals vette vis, schelp- en schaaldieren, en frisse salades. De frisse zuurgraad en minerale ondertoon maken deze wijn bijzonder geschikt voor bereidingen waarbij de pure smaken van de vis of schaaldieren worden benadrukt, bijvoorbeeld gegrild of kort gebakken, zodat de wijn de delicate texturen en aroma’s van de gerechten mooi complimenteert. |
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!
