Named after Louis Albert Péringuey, the 19th Century Inspector-General of Vineyards in the Cape, who led the fight against phylloxera and supervised the importation of American rootstocks onto which the various vineyard varieties were grafted.
in the vineyard : The distinct ravine which embodies Stellenbosch Kloof harnesses all the quality of a well-orientated compass.  Varying elevations and aspects allows us to grow a selection of classic varieties to specific sites that optimise this expression through their location.  The cooler south- and east-facing aspects, unique in Stellenbosch, hosts the more sensitive and aromatic white-skinned grape varieties.

Stellenbosch Kloof enjoys a cooler Mediterranean climate with maritime infuences from False Bay, 14 km to the south, and refreshing breeze channelled from the West Coast's Benguela current 24 km to the north-west.  These two breezes culminate at the top end of the ravine and bring in early morning mists, especially from False Bay.

Consequently, temperatures in our meso-climate can be measured at least 3° Celsius cooler than inland Stellenbosch during repening periods.  This adds a unique characteristic to Jordan wines.
about the harvest: The grapes were harvested in early morning on the 6th and 13th of February 2024 at 22.8° B.
in the cellar : After gentle pressing followed by cold-settling for 2 days, the juice was fermented in 228L 2nd and 3rd fill Burgundian-shaped barrels, and in amphora.  The wins was matured "sur-lie" in the barrel for 7 months with occasional "barrel rolling" to add richness to the palate.  To accentuate the fresh citrus flavour, 45% tank-fermented Chenin Blanc was blended with the barrel fermented portion.
