JORDAN<br />

Gary and Kathy Jordan have been making world-class<br />

wines since 1993 on a farm with a history going back over<br />

300 years. He is a geologist, she is an economist - together<br />

this husband and wife team are a phenomenon. Gary’s<br />

parents, Ted and Sheelagh, bought the property in 1982,<br />

and embarked on an extensive replanting programme,<br />

specialising in classic varietals suited to the different soils<br />

and slopes. Their winery in Stellenbosch is perhaps one of<br />

the most stunningly beautiful in the world.<br />

SOUTH AFRICA<br />

Meerlust, the aristocrat of all wine estates in South Africa, is<br />

the pride of the Myburgh family who have been making fine<br />

wines there since 1756. Today, Hannes Myburgh, the present<br />

owner continues the great family tradition. Meerlust is the<br />

name of a red wine elite. The soils of the estate consist mostly<br />

of decomposed granite mixed with clay. Of the 300 hectares<br />

in the estate, 200 hectares have been planted with the noble<br />

red varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot<br />

and Pinot Noir – each vinified at the estate and all producing<br />

wines of fruity elegance in a class of their own.<br />
