BACKGROUND

The gardens and willow trees at Jordan are home to the Cape Dwarf Chameleon. Chameleon is a wonderfully apt name, expressing the changing flavours of the component varieties of these fruit-driven blends.

TASTING NOTES

Its chameleon-like character adapts to any drinking experience, from summer sipping to Alfresco dining. Showcasing the broad fruit spectrum found in the Winelands, initial forward Cape green fig flavours follow through to a layered palate of ruby grapefruit and winter melon glacé.

HARVESTING

The chardonnay was harvested between the 9th February and 3rd of March 2022. The Sauvignon Blanc between the 11th February and 21st of  February 2022.

WINEMAKING & MATURATION

The sauvignon blanc was tank-fermented to retain its intense varietal character and blended with tank-fermented chardonnay that received extended lees contact, to create a full, fruity wine.
