To create the perfect soil environment for this Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, many large, sub-surface granite boulders were excavated and blown up with dynamite. One of the boulders required over 300 charges, necessitating a very long fuse.
LOCATION & CLIMATE
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.
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 Coasts Benguela current 24km to the north-west. These two breezes culminate at the top end of the ravine and bring in early 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 periods. This adds a unique characteristic to Jordan wines.

Very soft on the nose, only hinting at pepper, tannins, and dark fruit. Once on the tongue, the tannins awakened a little and there is a woody, almost cedar, note. Served with a steak au poivre. Absolutely delicious! A Votre Sante! Jeff Borman
I cannot describe this wine based on tastes. It is just a fine wine that is light for a cab sav, and has the spicy flavors that are gentle and not too much. Very well rounded.
A long fuse indeed, with an even longer finish. The palate boasts heavy tannins and acidity, alongside notes of red cherry and yellow plum. Cassis, oak and a hint of vanilla can also be found.
Nice from the bottle, smooth red with nice juicy fruit
Nice south african cabernet! As you can expect its a forgiving full bodied wine. Nive bouque and good finish
"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "
- Terry Wharton Hood -
Great wine at a great time, everytime
