About this wine

Jordan Nine Yards Chardonnay is the flagship white wine of the Jordan Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa, and one of the Cape's most celebrated expressions of the variety. A barrel selection of the finest Chardonnay fruit from the estate, it represents the ultimate expression of Jordan terroir, crafted with the same ambition and precision as the world's great white Burgundies. Why You'll Love It The name says it all. Jordan went the whole nine yards with this wine, and it shows. Partially wild yeast fermented and matured for 11 months in French oak barriques, Nine Yards is a Chardonnay of genuine complexity, depth, and age-worthiness. The Jordan Estate in Stellenbosch is one of South Africa's most respected producers, combining a stunning mountain terroir with meticulous winemaking to produce wines that consistently punch at the highest level. This is a wine for those who know what great Chardonnay can be. Vineyard & Production Fruit is selected from the finest Chardonnay vineyards on the Jordan Estate, chosen for their exceptional quality and terroir expression. Partial wild yeast fermentation adds complexity and texture, while 11 months of maturation in French oak barriques builds richness, depth, and a beautifully integrated toasty character. The result is a wine of real substance and finesse that rewards both immediate drinking and time in the cellar. Tasting Notes Golden in colour with a rich, inviting depth. The nose is complex and layered, with aromas of butterscotch, spiced clove, and lime citrus alongside subtle toasty oak. On the palate, full and richly textured with a creamy mouthfeel, vibrant acidity, and a long, elegant, toasty oak finish that lingers beautifully. Serve at 10 to 12 degrees. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for roast chicken, lobster, pan-seared scallops, and rich fish dishes such as turbot or halibut. Also excellent alongside creamy pasta, soft washed-rind cheeses, and dishes with a buttery or cream sauce. The Blend 100% Chardonnay
