Jordan Cobblers Hill 2022

Jordan Wine Estate is situated in Stellenbosch Kloof, where cooler maritime influences from False Bay and the Atlantic create a distinctly moderate growing climate within Stellenbosch. These cooling breezes and early morning mists help preserve freshness and structure in the fruit, giving Jordan wines their characteristic balance and refinement.

Cobblers Hill is the estate’s flagship Bordeaux-style blend, named in honour of the Jordan family’s heritage as master cobblers. The vineyards are planted on decomposed granite soils across carefully selected slopes and elevations, allowing each varietal to perform optimally according to site. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel before the wine spends 18 months maturing in French oak barrels, developing texture and complexity while retaining a strong sense of vineyard character.

The 2022 vintage reflects the polished, classical style Jordan has become known for: structured but approachable, with ripe fruit supported by freshness and fine tannin detail.

Colour:
Deep ruby with a dense garnet centre and youthful brightness.

Nose:
Blackcurrant, cassis and dark plum lead the aromatics, followed by notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, Sichuan pepper and subtle vanilla spice from oak maturation.

Palate:
Full-bodied yet composed, with layered dark berry fruit supported by fine, structured tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone and freshness, while the Merlot contributes plush texture and generosity through the mid-palate. Oak integration is polished rather than dominant, adding savoury spice and depth.

Finish:
Long and refined with lingering cassis, cedar, dark chocolate and gentle spice.
