Pure and aromatic, minerally rather than floral. Citrus peel with green, crunchy stone fruit and steely acidity which drives the wine. Flinty notes with an intense mouthfeel and a distinctive mineral salinity adding to the bright, savoury finish.
Jordan is home to the first mother block of Assyrtiko in South Africa. Planted on dry, windy, north-facing slopes overlooking the sea, this ancient variety is a love letter from the Mediterranean, whilst capturing our pioneering spirit as we move towards a regenerative future.
The distinct ravine which embodies Stellenbosch Kloof harnesses all the qualities 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 influences from False Bay, 14km to the south, and a refreshing breeze channelled from the West Coast’s Benguela current 24km 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 ripening periods. This adds a unique characteristic to Jordan wines.
