Jordan Nine Yards Chardonnay 2023
Intense aromas of citrus blossom, apricot, and vanilla that are complemented by subtle hints of oak and cinnamon. On the palate, flavors of ripe peach, crisp apple, and pear mingle with a creamy texture and a bright acidity, producing a wine that is both elegant and refreshing. The grapes used to make the wine are sourced from the finest vineyards on the slopes of the Stellenbosch Mountains in South Africa, where conditions are ideal for growing Chardonnay grapes of exceptional quality. Perfect for pairing with seafood, white meats, or creamy cheeses, Jordan Nine Yards Chardonnay is a sophisticated and delightful wine that will impress even the most discerning wine connoisseurs.
BLEND: 100% Chardonnay
Description
The Ultimate Expression of Jordan Terroir. The Nine Yards Chardonnay is made is in a reserve style, from barrel selection from our best vineyard site. Stylistically different to our Jordan Chardonnay, with this wine we went “The whole nine yards”!
LOCATION & CLIMATE
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.
