Jordan Chameleon Merlot 750ml

Experience the opulent and fruit-driven character of Stellenbosch with the Jordan Chameleon Merlot 750ml. Named after the Cape Dwarf Chameleons that inhabit the estate’s gardens, this wine perfectly captures the ever-changing and adaptable nature of the Merlot grape. You will find that Jordan Chameleon Merlot delivers a plush, seductive profile that highlights the world-class terroir of the Jordan Wine Estate. Gary and Kathy Jordan utilize gravity-fed cellar techniques and gentle pressing to ensure the wine retains its soft, balanced tannins. This 750ml bottle offers an approachable yet sophisticated red wine experience for any occasion.

The liquid presents a deep ruby color and an inviting, aromatic profile. You will enjoy rich aromas of sun-ripened plum, blackberry, and subtle mocha on the nose. The palate delivers a medium-to-full-bodied texture with layers of dark berries, herbal dried mint, and sweet vanilla oak. Generously rounded tannins provide a smooth framework that leads into a long, spicy finish. You can expect a harmonious balance between the fruit intensity and the delicate spiciness derived from 16 months in French oak. This Merlot excels when paired with hearty dishes like roast lamb, beef stew, or savory Italian-style pork.
