About this Item

Jordan
2018 Nine Yards Chardonnay
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Gary and Kathy Jordan have been making world-class wines since 1993 on this Stellenbosch Kloof property, and today leads a multinational commercial success that they built up from a family concern. Gary's parents, Ted and Sheelagh, bought the 146 hectare Stellenbosch property in 1982, and embarked on an extensive replanting program, specializing in classic varieties suited to the different soils and slopes.

The ultimate expression of Jordan Terroir. The Nine Yards Chardonnay is made is in a reserve style, from barrel selection from our best vineyard site. Stylistically different to our Jordan Chardonnay, with this wine we went “The whole nine yards”!

Critics Ratings

‘From eponymous stellar vineyard, 2018 lavished with 70% new oak but not at the expense of its fruit, which is captivatingly pure & fresh. Meticulous & detailed winemaking as ever, including portion natural ferment. Superb now & worth cellaring many years (the also-available magnums in particular).’ - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 5* (94/100)

‘Green-tinged mid gold. Oak and tropical citrus aromas. Plush and showy marzipan hints on the mid-palate. Rich and dense but almost overdone. Crème Brulee notes, opulent and very flash.’ – Michael Fridjhon, Winewizard.co.za, 90/100 (Oct 2020)

‘Always a crowd-pleasing style, this 70% new wood fermented Chardonnay nods towards California rather than Burgundy. Textured, concentrated and showing flavours of butterscotch, stone fruit and honey, it's balanced by just the right amount of acidity. 2020-25’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 93/100
