Chardonnay is a variety that has flourished on our estate, making Jordan one of the most awarded producers of various styles of Chardonnay in South Africa. Our unique location at the top of the Stellenbosch Kloof Valley offers a cooler South-East-facing meso-climate allowing us to produce a variety of Chardonnay styles.
Jordan Wine Estate is synonymous with the Chardonnay variety, and we are very proud that our winemaker, Sjaak Nelson is the recently appointed chairman of the Chardonnay Association! This group focuses on raising the image and awareness of South African Chardonnay amongst both consumer and producers.
To celebrate Chardonnay Day, Sjaak has hand selected a magnum. We are offering a magnum of our Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2017 (1.5l) for R700.00 per bottle. Each bottle ordered until 31 May 2024 will be personally signed by winemaker, Sjaak Nelson!

The Jordan Chardonnays
Jordan Blanc de Blancs Cap Classique 2019
Vibrant green – yellow hue with a long bead of delicate bubbles. Fresh green apples, citrus blossom, and hints of fresh brioche on the nose. Well-balanced with a full structure and elegant creamy mousse, a mouth-filling explosion, and a long crisp finish.

Jordan Unoaked Chardonnay 2023
Inspired by the styles of Chablis where Chardonnay is allowed to express its inherent character. A totally unique unoaked offering that is defined partly by extended lees contact that develops mouthfeel and nuance in the wine. Aromas of freshly grated lemon zest and citrus orchard that finishes with flavours of apricot puree and lime sorbet.

Jordan Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2022
A variety of chardonnay clones planted on different slopes, harvested at different ripening levels and all of it fermented and matured in French oak barrels. These practices help to achieve natural balance and allows for different textural components which we then blend to achieve finesse and complexity. Bold and graceful with fragrances of lemon biscuit and overripe oranges.
