While vineyards rest during the cooler months, Jordan Wine Estate remains bustling with activity. The farm team is focused on essential winter maintenance, particularly tending to newly planted blocks of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Assyrtiko. Key tasks include installing poles to support the trellis system, which ensures optimal sun exposure, airflow, and vine health. This structure not only improves grape quality but also facilitates efficient vineyard operations throughout the growing season.
Simultaneously, road upgrade work leading to the estate progresses steadily, enhancing surface quality and drainage. These improvements promise easier access for visitors and neighboring farms alike. The estate remains fully accessible during construction, with a reminder to drive carefully and enjoy the scenic surroundings.
