Jordan The Long Fuse Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

R275,00

Progressive techniques such as overhead fermenters, pump-overs and gravity flow allow for the extraction of fully developed flavours and soft ripe tannins without compensating the tension and elegance captured from the various cabernet slopes. Here especially, the climate plays a significant role to allow great fruit expression and classic essences of cedar, brambles and toasted tobacco.

More Information

In the cellar

Fermented in overhead retort-shaped, stainless steel fermentors. Pump-overs were done three times daily during fermentation. Selected tanks received extended maceration on the skins after fermentation. The use of gravity and gentle pressing ensure full-flavoured wines with soft, balanced tannins. The wine was racked into barrels where it underwent malolactic fermentation. After further racking, it spent 18 months in new and used French oak barrels, before being lightly filtered prior to bottling.

In the vineyard

To create the perfect soil environment for our Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, many large, sub-surface boulders were excavated and blown up with dynamite. One of the boulders required over 300 charges, necessitating a very long fuse. The grapes were harvested between 28th March and 8th April 2022 at an average of 21.7°B.

About the Wine Estate

Gary and Kathy Jordan have been making world-class wines since 1993 on a farm with a history going back over 300 years. He’s a geologist, she’s an economist. Gary’s parents, Ted and Sheelagh, bought the now 164-hectare Stellenbosch property in 1982, and embarked on an extensive replanting programme, specializing in classic varieties suited to the different soils and slopes.
