Timepiece, a pure Chenin Blanc, is a South African white wine produced by the Jordan winery. A wine of great quality, it best represents the potential of the Stellenbosch terroir. Complex and structured, it can be enjoyed by a wide audience, from novices to experienced winelovers. We are, as mentioned, in the Stellenbosch area of the Western Cape. The Stellenbosch appellation, for those who do not yet know, is one of the most prestigious in South Africa. About 16 thousand hectares, with a Mediterranean climate, hot summers and mild winters. Here, with the help of a clay-limestone soil, wonderful wines with a special structure and minerality are produced. Here, the grapes come from historic vineyards, where Chenin Blanc is perfect for producing wines of great quality. Timepiece Chenin Blanc, specifically, comes from a traditional winemaking process. About half of the must is fermented in French oak barrels, while the other half is fermented in 400-litre Italian amphorae. This gives the wine greater complexity and structure. At the end of the transformation, the wine is then matured 'sur-lie' for 6 months, with regular punching-down. In the glass it has a beautiful, brilliant straw yellow colour. The nose presents fascinating aromas of angelica, quince and wild berries. In the mouth it is fresh, savoury and mineral, with a savoury, ethereal finish. Perfect as an aperitif, it accompanies lean fish, soft cheeses and lightly spiced dishes.

The one proposed here, the Timepiece Sauvignon Blanc, is an interesting South African white wine produced by the Jordan winery. We are in Stellenbosch, in the Western Cape area. Stellenbosch is one of the most prestigious appellations in South Africa and covers an area of about 16 thousand hectares, including, in addition to Stellenbosch, also Paarl and Franschhoek. Here, the area is characterised by a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, and clay-limestone soils, which give the wines a special structure and minerality. Pure Sauvignon Blanc, in this case the grapes come from historic vineyards that are almost 40 years old. Winemaking in the cellar is traditional, although the producers experiment with some 'innovative' techniques here. 67% of the must is fermented in 228-litre French oak barrels of second and third passage, while the remaining third is fermented in 400-litre Italian amphorae. The amphora has the natural ability to keep the marc in constant suspension during fermentation, giving the wine greater complexity and structure. The must is then matured 'sur-lie', i.e. in contact with its own yeasts, for about 6 months, with occasional punching-down. Sulphites are only added to the wine at bottling. In the glass it has a beautiful, brilliant straw yellow colour. The nose presents intense and complex aromas. It recalls elderflower, melon and yeast. In the mouth, however, it is fresh, savoury and mineral, with a delicate but long finish. A versatile wine, it pairs well with a wide range of dishes. It is perfect with fish starters, white meats and seafood dishes.

Only Chardonnay, when it is cultivated with all the trappings, but especially when it is worked to perfection, is capable of producing wines of this pleasantness and complexity. Barrel Fermented Chardonnay, produced by Jordan, is a Chardonnay from the Stellenbosch area. The company's vineyards are located in the hills, about 300 meters above sea level. This area enjoys very favorable climatic conditions, as it is constantly reached by Atlantic breezes coming from False Bay. The cooler area, facing south and east, is home to white grape varieties. Here, the special microclimate gives Chardonnay an extraordinary uniqueness. This South African Chardonnay, moreover, is the result of processing vines with an average age of 20 to 35 years. In the cellar, fermentation takes place in Nevers and Bourgogne French oak barrels. The wine is then aged on its lees for a period of about 9 months. Instead, only a small portion, about 8 percent of the mass, is fermented in steel tanks and then added to the matured wine, ensuring a perfect balance in aromas. Both tank-aged and barrel-aged Chardonnay undergo malolactic fermentation. A multifaceted Chardonnay, this South African white presents itself in the glass as a beautiful straw-yellow color with golden reflections. Intense and elegant aromas, with notes of ripe fruit, also tropical, and hints of butter, the mouth reveals an elegant note of lemon cookie and very ripe oranges. An important wine, it should always be paired with dishes of some structure. Whether they are fish or meat, the important thing is that they have the right personality. Excellent with veal tonnato.

Approximately 16 thousand hectares, which include not only the town of Stellenbosch, but also Paarl and Franschhoek.

Cold Fact, this is certainly something few people know, is an album by singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez. Not too well known in these latitudes, it is even considered a cultural phenomenon in South Africa, also known internationally through the film "Searching for Sugar Man." Cold Fact is also a play, used by Jordan to identify the "cold soak" technique, or "pre-fermentation maceration," used to bring out the intense flavors of Sauvignon Blanc, a grape variety known to be highly aromatic. The result is a wine characterized by incredible freshness and aromatic pleasantness. Straw yellow with obvious greenish hues, the nose reveals aromas of black currant and fig, balanced by a complex fruity and sweet structure of Provençal herbs. Perfect correspondence in the mouth with what was perceived earlier. This aromatic white is simply ideal with vegetarian dishes as well as salads and pastas dressed with fresh vegetable sauces, fish and fresh cheeses. For lovers of freshness and strong aromatics, however, this Sauvignon is suitable right from the aperitif ritual.
