Jordan Timepiece Sauvignon Blanc 2025
R466,00
Beguiling aromatics and a complex mixture of elderflower, honeydew melon, and sourdough with a hint of kelp. Bright flavours with a shy and old-world feel to the mid-palate that carries over to a delicate but long, leesy finish that ends dry and saline.
Timepiece is a wine collection that captures a part of the Jordan heritage.
The collection includes single vineyard wines from our estate vineyards, older than 35 years and carries the stamp of the estate founder, Ted Jordan.

In the cellar
The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness on the 29th of January 2024 at approximately 20.9°B.
The juice was fermented in a combination of oak barrels and clay amphora. 55% of the juice was barrel-fermented in 228L 2nd & 3rd fill French oak barrels and 37% in 400L clay amphora – the amphora clay pot has the natural ability to keep the lees in constant suspension during fermentation. Malolactic fermentation took place in both amphora and barrel. The wine was matured “sur-lie” for 6 months with occasional “barrel rolling” to add richness to the palate.
No sulphur was added during vinification or aging of the wine prior to bottling.
In the vineyard
The distinct ravine which embodies Stellenbosch Kloof harnesses all the qualities of a well-orientated compass. Varying elevations and aspects allows us to grow a selection of classic varieties to specific sites that optimise this expression through their location.
The cooler south–facing aspect, hosts the more sensitive and aromatic white-skinned grape varieties, as seen in our Timepiece Sauvignon Blanc.
