SUMMARY:Let's talk about... Jordan Wine Estate's answer to climate change 
DESCRIPTION:Let’s talk about… Jordan Wine Estate’s answer to climate change: Assyrtiko in Stellenbosch and cool climate chardonnay and pinot noir in Sussex\, with Gary and Kathy Jordan and Sjaak Nelson \nThe Jordan family’s wine enterprise spans two very different locations: Stellenbosch in South Africa and East Sussex in England. Gary and Kathy\, with head winemaker Sjaak\, will link the two in a presentation that will emphasise sustainability and planning for a greener future. \nFollowing an introduction to their estates\, they will pose two questions: \nWhy assyrtiko? An unexpected decision\, surely\, when they have won numerous Decanter and IWSC trophies for their chardonnay and Bordeaux blend. It will\, they say\, show how the past is shaping the estate’s future. \nWhy Sussex? Here\, they will discus challenges and opportunities in the UK from a South African perspective. \nThe now 164-hectare Stellenbosch estate has a 350-year grape-growing history. Kathy and Gary began making wine there 30 years ago\, their raw material the result of Gary’s parents implementation of a replanting programme of classic varieties chosen to best exploit the varied soils and slopes. The more recent story of assyrtiko is especially fascinating\, and a lesson in planning for the future. \nMousehall farm was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Its revival under Jordan ownership began in 2017\, with planting of botanicals as well as vines. Its first product was a dry gin. \nThe presenters will be speaking from Mousehall\, where they are preparing their first Sussex chardonnay and pinot noir for bottling. \nSee: \nX/Twitter: @Gary_Jordan | @Jordan_Wines \nFacebook: www.facebook.com/jordanwines \nInstagram: @jordan_wines | @jordanrestaurant \nOnline: www.jordanwines.com \nTo join this seminar\, please register now or at any time before 5pm BST on Tuesday 5th December.
