Gary and Kathy Jordan have been making world-class wines since 1993 on a farm with a history going back over 300 years. Gary's parents, Ted and Sheelagh Jordan, bought the 146 hectare Stellenbosch property in 1982 and embarked on an extensive replanting programme, specializing in classic varieties suited to the different soils and slopes.
From the Jordan hillside vineyards one has a spectacular panormaic view of Table Mountain, False Bay and Stellenbosch. Gary and Kathy worked internationally for two years, refining their high-energy instincs with practical experience. They returned home to build a cellar in 1992.
The following year, the wines were judged ready for making wines that would carry the Jordan name. From the first year it was obvious that a new star had been added to the wine-making firmament. Continuing success has enlarged the team with the focus on producing fiercely individual wines that combine the fruity accessibility of the New World with the classic elegance of the old.
