One of the most successful wineries to have emerged in the last decade, Jordan winery has captured a good chunk of the local fine wine market through their consistent release of top quality wines in consumer-favoured styles. Their Chardonnay is a reliable "go to" wine so it's no surprise that their Reserve version is one of the finest expressions of Stellenbosch terroir around.
Gary and Kathy Jordan's simple philosophy that "success begins in the vineyards" is shared by many, but few have created such a distinct and delicious wine to match theirs. Fruit from a 17-year old vineyard is barrel-fermented and spends a further 12 months on the lees in small French barriques to accentuate the flavours. One sip of this rich, fruit-concentrated wine and suddenly the name makes perfect sense: they've really gone 'the whole nine yards' here.
Jean's Comments
Chardonnay has been over done for many years in South Africa. Jordan and a few other wineries went back the classic route; it's crispy, fruity, a perfect balance between oak and acidity. Kathy and Gary, Thank You!
Brendon's comments
You can't ask for a more perfect balance of elegance and intensity in a Chardonnay - Jordan went all out to make something truly memorable here. Going the whole nine yards is also part of my life philosophy, so this handcrafted wine touches a personal spot that makes me a big fan.
