Wine

South Africa

Jardin (Stellenbosch)

Gary Jordan and his wife, Kathy, spent two years studying winemaking at the University of California at Davis. Gary's Geology degree combined with Kathy's Economics degree have given South Africa's first husband-and-wife winemaking team insight into winemaking from soil preparation through to the marketing of their wines.

The Jordans are meticulous about their canopy management, use of drip irrigation, and utilizing to their advantage the unique situation of the farm, as they have North-, South-, East- and West-facing aspects.

Sauvignon Blanc

The grapes are harvested from selected east- and south-facing vineyards ranging in age from 10 to 21 years, situated on decomposed granite and loamy soils, 220m above sea level. Vertical hedge trellising and innovative canopy management techniques were used to enhance the intense flavors.

This tank-fermented wine is as full of energy as the team that produces it! Fig, gooseberry and asparagus flavors blend in a harmonious palate of youthful exuberance.

"There's a lot here, with bright lemon peel, grapefruit, mineral and straw flavors that resonate on the long, stony finish. Nicely done." -90 points, Wine Spectator
