Jordan – Wines with a View
In the heart of the renowned Stellenbosch wine region lies Jordan Wine Estate, which was taken over in 1982 by Gary and Kathy Jordan. On a historic farm dating back to the 19th century, they created a unique fusion of classic winemaking traditions and modern innovation. The estate’s special location – nestled between False Bay and the Helderberg Mountains – provides ideal climatic conditions where cool sea breezes meet sun-drenched slopes. This results in wines of unmistakable character that have gained international acclaim. Today, Jordan is considered one of South Africa’s leading wine estates, known not only for its outstanding wines but also for its breathtaking scenery.
Tradition Meets Modern Winemaking
At Jordan, nothing is left to chance: the diversity of soils and elevations is carefully utilized to craft elegant, terroir-driven wines from international grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. In the state-of-the-art winery, traditional methods are combined with cutting-edge technology, resulting in complex and age-worthy wines that embody both finesse and structure. Visitors can explore this variety in the stylish Tasting Room – with panoramic views across the vineyards, the Cape Flats, and even Table Mountain. A cellar tour offers fascinating insights behind the scenes, showing how much passion and attention to detail go into every single bottle of Jordan wine.
Experience Nature and Indulgence at Jordan
But Jordan is more than just a place for fine wines. Nature plays an equally important role: walks through the vineyards reveal a rich diversity of flora and fauna, nurtured through sustainable farming practices. Culinary highlights await guests at the acclaimed Jordan Restaurant, where renowned chefs create dishes that combine regional produce with international flair. For a more relaxed experience, the Bakery at Jordan offers artisanal breads and light meals.
