Organized by the Sommelier Union Austria and Jörg Linke There was an extensive online South Africa tasting, of course the wines from Jordan Wine Estate in Stellenbosch. All winemakers were there personally and told in detail about their wines, their wineries but also about the COVID situation in South Africa. Perfectly made, incredibly exciting and a good opportunity for us to “meet” Kathy & Gary Jordan again. Of course, our favorites were the two Jordan wines Chardonnay Barrel Fermented and Cobblers Hill.
Our connection to the Jordans in South Africa is a very special one, Simone was after school in Klosterneuburg for 6 months at the Jordan winery in Stellenbosch and was able to think outside the box and collect many new ideas. Since then we have had a very special friendship with Kathy & Gary, if not family, at least we are connected through our love for wine.
