Gary Jordan (Winemaker/ Viticulturist)

Gary grew up in Durbanville, South Africa and attended the University of Cape Town, where he qualified as a Geologist. After having worked in South Africa as a geologist, Gary attended the MSc program in Viticulture and Enology and worked as a winemaker in California before spearheading the growth and development of Jordan Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa with his wife Kathy.

Gary loves a challenge, which is why in 2017 Gary, along with Kathy purchased Mousehall Country Estate as part of their "retirement plan".

If you don’t find Gary cultivating the land, on his digger or plotting a new project, you will find him with braai tongs and a glass of something delicious in hand.

Kathy Jordan (Winemaker/ Finance)

Kathy grew up in Cape Town, South Africa. After completing a major in Economics and Industrial Psychology at the University of Cape Town, Kathy worked as a Merchandiser for a leading fashion company in Cape Town.

Kathy lived in California, USA for two years thereafter with her husband Gary, studying Enology at the University of California, Davis, as well as gaining international experience at a winery in Sonoma.

Kathy returned to South Africa to manage the building and development of Jordan Wine Estate alongside Gary, transforming Jordan into the world-class wine, hospitality and wine tourism business it is today.

Kathy wears many hats at Mousehall from accountant to winemaker, but on the odd occasion Kathy has some free time, you will find her running a marathon, playing frisbee with the dogs or learning a new language.

Christy Jordan (Distiller/ Marketing)

Christy grew up in Stellenbosch on her family-run wine farm, Jordan Wine Estate. After completing her degree in Visual Communications majoring in photography, Christy travelled extensively working in various hospitality roles on yachts and five star lodges around the world before moving to England in 2019.

In 2019 Christy passed her distilling course in London and shortly after worked in a Distillery in Ireland learning the art of distilling and blending before creating her own spirits.

Christy is part of the daily running of Mousehall from distilling to creating social media content, attending events or hosting a tasting. If she isn't working, you might find her with a Ukulele/Guitar in hand, running a marathon or chasing after her energetic Irish Setter pup Charlie.
