Jordan Winery is considered a leader in Stellenbosch, arguably South Africa's most beautiful wine region. It boasts an impressive 164 hectares of vineyards in this stunning region. Because several vineyards are relatively close to the Indian and Atlantic coasts, they enjoy the necessary cooling, a particularly beneficial feature for the white grape varieties. Gary, a geologist by training, has carefully examined the terroir to determine which grapes thrive in which location. These past investments are now paying off. Today, the most phenomenal wines leave the impressive cellars of Jordan Winery.
A white wine that holds the title of "best Chardonnay in the world": we have high expectations. Well, those expectations were more than met during a tasting session with Jordan Chardonnay Barrel Fermented. The exceptionally long oak aging, a full 10 months, clearly shines through in the aroma and flavor. The rich bouquet gives us so much. You keep smelling the glass of Jordan Chardonnay Barrel Fermented: roasted nuts, vanilla, oak, and ripe yellow fruit. This is sure to be a treat! The flavor is overwhelming and sublime. A Chardonnay wine at its very best. You'll taste hints of butter and cream. But also robust fruit notes of peach, mango, and apricots emerge. The finish of Jordan Chardonnay Barrel Fermented is characterized by freshly baked bread, oak, and vanilla.
