Jordan Wine Estate takes action against Global warming

Gary & Kathy Jordan are one of the most proactive and forward-thinking wine producers in South Africa. Their 24 years on Jordan have taught them to harness what they have effectively.

They recently acquired a neighbouring portion of land on the north-facing slope on the sea side of the winery, and have spent invested hugely in the preparation of the land. Drilling boreholes, blasting granite rocks and removing alien vegetation are just a part of the preparation.

The result is a 20ha vineyard ready to plant a really tough variety – namely Assyrtiko! This will be the first large commercial planting of this tough drought resistant Greek variety in South Africa. With Kathy’s Greek heritage it makes absolute sense. The media were invited to share in their journey and enjoyed a fabulous lunch on their deck in front of the winery. We look forward to the next few years of the vineyard’s development and production.
