Jordan 'Nine Yards' Chardonnay, Stellenbosch

Jordan 'Nine Yards' Chardonnay, Stellenbosch 2023

£40.00

A wonderful, rich yet linear barrel-aged Chardonnay

  • The Nine Yards Chardonnay is made is in a reserve style, from barrel selection from our best vineyard site.
  • Varying elevations and aspects allows a selection of classic varieties to specific sites that optimise this expression through their location.
  • Stellenbosch Kloof enjoys a cooler Mediterranean climate with maritime influences from False Bay, and a refreshing breeze channelled from the West Coast's Benguela current. These two breezes bring in early morning mists.
  • 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.
  • Jordan Nine Yards Chardonnay is a style characterised by refreshing linear acidity and mouthfilling fruit textures. Classic Nine Yards flavours with lime citrus and fragrant oak spice.

Gary and Kathy Jordan have been making world-class wines at this top wine estate since 1993 on a farm with a history going back over 300 years. Together this husband and wife team is a phenomenon. Gary's parents, Ted and Sheelagh, bought the 164 hectare Stellenbosch property in 1982, and embarked on an extensive replanting programme, specialising in classic varieties suited to the different soils and slopes. The Jordan slopes face North, South, East and West, with vineyards lying at differing altitudes from 160 to 410 meters above sea level. The vineyards benefit from their close proximity to both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans and enjoy a mild, Mediterranean climate with a maritime influence.
