Jordan Wines Cobbler’s Hill 2014

Jordan Wine Estate is a family owned and managed estate in the Bottelary Hills in the Stellenbosch Wine Appellation. Summer heat in the vineyards is ameliorated by cooling breezes off False Bay and on the Western side, the cold Benguela Current makes its presence felt.

Gary & Kathy Jordan

I was once in the cellar with Gary when a shipment of French Oak Barrels. I asked Gary about them, and he casually said, ‘these barrels were made from oaks that were growing in Napoleon’s lifetime.” Napoleon died in 1815 on St Helena Island whence he was exiled. He died there. He had a shipment of Cape Wine sent to him once a month.
