Jordan Chameleon Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot 2022

R99,00

Jordan’s gardens and willow trees are home to the Cape Dwarf Chameleon. Chameleon is a wonderfully apt name, expressing the changing flavours of these fruit-driven blend’ component varieties.

Plush textured Merlot fills the framework provided by the Cabernet Sauvignon, leading to approachable flavours of sun-ripened plum & dark-skinned spring berries with a top-note of herbal dried mint.

More Information

In the cellar

Fermented in overhead retort-shaped, stainless steel fermenters. Pump-overs were done three times daily during fermentation. The use of gravity and gentle pressing ensured full-flavoured wines with soft, balanced tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot underwent malolactic fermentation in oak barrel and the Syrah portion was tank fermented to lend the wine freshness. The various portions of the blend spent 17 months in 225 litre oak barrels, before being bottled.

In the vineyard

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 carly 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 peri-ods. This adds a unique characteristic to Jordan wines.

Ageing

17 months in 225 litre oak barrels

Food Pairing

Dishes associated with Alfresco dining, especially southern Italian-style cured pork, goats cheese and olive tart.
