Hartenberg
Hartenberg is a historic Stellenbosch wine estate established in 1692 on the slopes of the Bottelary Hills. Known particularly for Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, the estate combines regenerative viticulture with a long-term commitment to its vineyards, producing structured South African wines shaped by site and careful farming.
Description
Bright lemon notes, yellow apples, and a hint of toastiness introduce this expressive Chardonnay. The palate is beautifully creamy on entry, balanced by a crisp, lingering finish. Flavours of ripe yellow apple carry through, lifted by a touch of gooseberry tartness. A stalwart of top South African Chardonnays, with the promise of even greater complexity over time.
Food Pairing
Oysters, scallop and Chardonnay risotto with a basil cream sauce, Cape linefish, cheeses.
