Jordan Nine Yards Chardonnay 2023
R650,00
A style characterised by refreshing linear acidity and mouthfilling fruit textures. Classic Nine Yards flavours with lime citrus and fragrant oak spice.
The Ultimate Expression of Jordan Terroir. The Nine Yards Chardonnay is made in a reserve style, from barrel selection from our best vineyard site. Stylistically different to our Jordan Chardonnay – with this wine, we went “The whole nine yards“.

In the cellar
After de-stemming, the grapes were crushed and pressed. The juice was transferred to traditional 228-litre French oak barrels, ranging from 77% new barrels and 23% second fill, from selected Burgundian cooperages (Damy, Chasiin and Rousseau), where fermentation took place. A percentage of the wine went through natural fermentation in barrel. The wine was matured "sur lie" for nine months, with regular barrel -rolling to accentuate the rich, leesy character.
In the vineyard
The distinct ravine which embodies Stellenbosch Kloof harnesses all the qualities of a well-orientated compass. Varying elevations and aspects allows us to grow a selection of classic varieties to specific sites that optimise this expression through their location. The cooler south- and east-facing aspects, unique in Stellenbosch, hosts the more sensitive and aromatic white-skinned grape varieties.
