How Jordan Vineyard & Winery preserves the land, and the people, that produce their wines
My recent reintroduction to the euphoric experience found in a glass of wine has inspired me to expand my writing repertoire to the wine industry.
Focusing on how the wine industry uses social media platforms to connect with their ever-expanding customer base, I began my journey with Jordan Vineyard & Winery, nestled in the heart of Sonoma's wine country.
Through my own independent research and an online interview with Lisa Mattson, Communication Director at Jordan Vineyard & Winery, I composed a case study, that I will share in a series of three blog posts, highlighting how she uses YouTube to share Jordan's unique culture of people and their crafts: Wine Country Captivates YouTube Viewers: Jordan Vineyard & Winery, Jordan Vineyard & Winery: A Proven YouTube Sensation!, and YouTube's Impact on Jordan Vineyard & Winery from a Business Standpoint.
Here is a look at what makes Jordan Vineyard & Winery so special:
Cradled within the Sonoma Countryside, Jordan Vineyard & Winery, known for
crafting award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, enters its fourth
decade of viticulture. In 1972, Tom Jordan, founder of Jordan Vineyard
& Winery, planted the seed that began as a dream and cultivated it into a
living, thriving vineyard. Now, forty fruitful years later, his son,
John, oversees every new vintage with the same pride and devotion he witnessed
in his father.
Sprawled across the rolling countryside of their Alexander Valley and Russian
River Valley vineyards, Jordan’s viticulture team takes advantage of the
diverse microclimates within each vineyard block, producing slightly different
variations of the same grape. Having already brought over 30 vintages to
fruition, Jordan Vineyard & Winery refuses to “rest on the laurels of its
success and constantly adapts its farming and winemaking practices to drive
higher quality each year”. Bringing together “old-world” winemaking
artistry and current innovations, Jordan Winery crafts wines defined by a
balance of “intense fruit flavors, complex bouquets, and silky tannins”, making
them the perfect accompaniment to any meal.
Approaching viticulture with the preservation of the land in mind
Jordan Vineyard & Winery has devoted three-quarters of its extensive estate
to remain untouched, celebrating and preserving its natural landscape.
Tapping into the rich, fertile soil that the Sonoman region has to offer,
Jordan Vineyard & Winery does so with the preservation of its natural
habitat in mind. Understanding that the cultivation of vineyards can have
a lasting impact on its delicate ecosystem, Jordan Winery has long since
embraced sustainable practices such as seeding ground cover, composting, and
recycling water. They have even introduced beneficial predators to help
maintain balance and harmony on their estate.
Recognized as one of the first wineries to be certified in the Sonoma Green
Business Program (1999) and in the Bay Area Green Business Program (2000),
Jordan Vineyard & Winery has established themselves as a forward-thinking
leader in the wine industry, inspiring others to honor and preserve the land
they cultivate. In addition to these accolades, Jordan Winery’s energy
usage was certified “carbon neutral” in 2009. Achieving their energy
reduction goals, installation of a solar array is currently underway, which will
satisfy 75 percent of the wineries energy needs. Every member of Jordan
Vineyard & Winery takes great pride in their role of creating an
unforgettable experience for wine lovers while remaining dedicated to the
responsibility they share in caring for the environment.
