Jordan The Prospector Syrah is a premium wine that offers an exceptional taste and sophistication, made with the highest quality grapes sourced from the sought-after Stellenbosch region of South Africa. This wine is named after a prospector who discovered a rich deposit of gold in the region, and it has a rich, intense flavor that speaks of this opulence. The deep red color of the wine is indicative of the rich fruit flavors, including dark berries, plums, and blackcurrants, enhanced by subtle spice notes. The wine is aged in oak barrels for added complexity and depth, making it a delightfully robust and flavorful wine for any discerning wine enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

Notes of peppered charcuterie, chipotle and red fruits are in abundance with a medium-bodied framework that lends itself to a variety of meat-based dishes and cooking techniques.

About the Winery

The story of the Jordan winery dates back to at least 300 years ago. Gary Jordan’s parents, Ted and Sheelagh, bought a property in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa in 1982, to grow some of the country’s soil and slope-specific grapes. In 1993, the husband and wife duo of Gary and Kathy Jordan started making internationally acclaimed wines from this region. Gary, a geologist, and Kathy, an economist, worked together beautifully to make wines that represented the true character of this region.

Before making wines from their scenic 164-hectare Stellenbosch vineyards, Gary and Kathy worked in some of the best international vineyards for a couple of years to use that experience in their hometown, when they came back in 1992 to build a cellar here. From the subsequent year onwards, they started making Jordan wines, characterised by their unique character, fruity essence, and classic elegance.

The uniqueness of Jordan wines comes mainly from the winemaking team working hard to strike a perfect balance between the natural features of the vineyards with innovative winemaking techniques. A sip of Jordan wines will tell you about the richness and exclusiveness about the Stellenbosch terroir, where the fruits are grown.

Chardonnay and Merlot are the main white and red varietals grown on the Jordan vineyards located at different altitudes on all the four directions of the region. The Jordan wine cellar is truly a class apart, as it is a perfect blend of New World and Old World architectural designs. Some of the impressive features here are state-of-the-art technology, natural gravity-flow system, different capacities of stainless steel fermentation tanks and designated barrel cellars for some special varietals.

Today, Jordan Wines stands tall, and as a perfect representation of its rich South African roots. The winemaking team at the estate continues to do a great job in preserving the natural richness of the soils and slopes through effective farm management techniques to produce terroir-rich wines consistently.
