Why You'll Love It
Rich and creamy, but with a fresh citrus line that keeps it beautifully balanced. Lemon curd, ripe pear and a little marmalade meet almond and subtle oak spice, giving plenty of flavour without a heavy finish. A dependable partner for roast chicken, buttered lobster or a creamy mushroom pie.
About The Producer
Bartinney lies on the slopes of Botmaskop above Stellenbosch's Banghoek Valley. Established in 1912 and owned by the Jordaan family since 1953, the estate has been renewed under Michael and Rose Jordaan, with vineyard restoration and the surrounding indigenous landscape both central to their work. Mountain slopes, cooling air and well-drained soils provide the setting for a small range built around Chardonnay and Bordeaux varieties. Chardonnay was first planted here in 1990, and remains an important part of the estate's identity: ripe and generously textured, with enough freshness to keep the wines composed.
Winemaking Information
Estate Chardonnay from the slopes of Botmaskop in Stellenbosch's Banghoek Valley. After crushing, the juice settles for two days before fermentation in 225-litre oak barrels, with up to 34% new oak. Light toast preserves the fruit, while partial spontaneous malolactic fermentation softens the texture. The wine spends about 11 months in barrel before blending and bottling. The producer's 2023 analysis records 13.5% ABV and 1.8 g/L residual sugar.
