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.
Tasting Room Details & Offerings
We are open, 7 days a week: Monday – Sunday
10h00 – 16h30 for wine tastings and tours.
Our guided wine tastings take place while seated under the shade of the majestic trees overlooking the lake, or on the terrace with the dramatic Stellenbosch Mountains as a backdrop. Our wine advisors explore our wines with you, enabling one to make an informed purchasing decision and to understand the exceptional location and wines of Jordan Wine Estate. Unique by nature’s design, the Jordan slopes face the warmer North & West, as well as the cooler South & East aspects, with vineyards lying at altitudes between 160 and 410 m above sea level. With their proximity to both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, the vineyards benefit from coastal fog and cool breezes, ensuring purity and balance.
