Jordan Wine Estate: the Stellenbosch aristocracy in Italy

Cape Best is the exclusive importer for Italy of Jordan Wine Estate, one of South Africa's most awarded and technically advanced wineries. Located in the prestigious Stellenbosch Kloof, the estate combines over 300 years of agricultural history with the pioneering vision of Gary and Kathy Jordan, who since 1993 have elevated the brand to a global icon of "Fine Wine".

Unique terroir: the convergence of the two Oceans

Jordan's geographical position is unique. Situated in a natural amphitheatre, the property enjoys a unique microclimate influenced by its proximity to two oceans:

• The Indian Ocean (False Bay): just 15 km away, it tempers summer temperatures with constant breezes.
• The Atlantic Ocean: whose cold currents ensure fundamental temperature fluctuations for acidity retention and aromatic elegance.

The four cardinal points and altitude

Jordan's vineyards extend over slopes facing all four cardinal points, with altitudes varying from 160 to 410 meters above sea level. This topographical variety, combined with decomposed granitic soils over 600 million years old, allows each variety - from Chenin Blanc to Bordeaux blends - to find its ideal exposure, ensuring legendary qualitative consistency.

Why is Jordan a global benchmark?

• Technical precision: The winery is renowned for its use of cutting-edge technologies that respect the integrity of the fruit, minimizing intervention in favour of terroir purity.
• Sustainability and Heritage: an active member of the Old Vine Project, Jordan preserves historical vineyards (the Timepiece line) that represent the genetic heritage of South African viticulture.
• Awards: from Tim Atkin's scores to Platter's Guide stars, Jordan wines consistently rank among the top international classifications.
• Jordan is IPW certified (Integrated Production of Wine), demonstrating a viticulture that protects the Cape's biodiversity.
