Nel vigneto

The Jordan Wine Estate vineyards are located on the hills around Stellenbosch, about 300m above sea level. This area enjoys very favorable climatic conditions, as it is reached by the Atlantic breezes from False Bay, which cool the temperature by about 3 ° compared to the flat area. The cooler area, facing south and east, is home to the most sensitive and aromatic white grape varieties. The particular microclimate gives the Chardonnay an extraordinary uniqueness. The cool summer of the 2019 vintage, with moderate December and January temperatures, led to slow ripening and grapes with excellent acidity and finesse. The harvest took place from February 15th to March 28th 2019. This South African Chardonnay comes from vines aged 21 to 35 years.

In the cellar

Dopo la diraspatura, le uve sono pressate, il mosto viene trasferito in botti tradizionali di rovere francese da 228 litri provenienti da selezionate cantine borgognone (Damy, Chassin, Rousseau), per il 77% nuove e per il 23% di secondo utilizzo.
Una percentuale del vino viene sottoposta a fermentazione naturale in botte, dopodichè il vino viene affinato sui lieviti per 9 mesi con follature manuali regolari.
