Jordan Chameleon dry Rosé

He’s a geologist, she’s an economist. Together they are the perfect team to make beautiful wines on an old estate with over 300 years of history located in the prestigious Stellenbosch wine region of South Africa. Under the name Jordan, they are committed to classic varieties like Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that are wonderfully suited to the diversity of terroirs and microclimates in their extensive 164-hectare estate.

Jordan Chameleon dry Rosé is a rosé made from 17-19 year old Syrah and Merlot vines planted in decomposed granite and marl soils. These vines grow at an altitude of 200 to 270 metres above sea level and are influenced by the sea breeze from the nearby False Bay, where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet.

In the winery, the Jordan Chameleon dry Rosé grapes are destemmed and undergo a maceration on the skins for 1 to 3 hours before pressing. The must then ferments with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. It is then bottled and lightly filtered.

Under the name Chameleon, the Jordans beautifully demonstrate how classic varieties like Syrah and Merlot have different nuances depending on the different terrains and altitudes. Jordan Chameleon dry Rosé is a fresh, aromatic and fruity rosé.
