Description

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, levendige witte wijn met een mooie balans tussen citrusaroma’s zoals limoen en citrusschil, groene appel en witte perzik, aangevuld met subtiele florale en ziltige minerale tonen. Dankzij zijn strakke structuur en levendige zuren past deze wijn perfect bij gerechten met vette vis zoals zalm of makreel, schelpdieren zoals oesters en coquilles, of een frisse salade met zeevruchten. Vooral bereidingswijzen waarbij de natuurlijke frisheid en mineraliteit van de wijn tot hun recht komen, zoals gegrilde vis met een citroensaus of een salade met rauwe vis, zorgen voor een heerlijke harmonie tussen wijn en gerecht.

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!
