Hartenberg is a family-owned wine estate in Stellenbosch. The grapes for this Chardonnay were handpicked in the early morning of each of the 4 days of picking so as to capture the subtle primary flavours that the variety offers. Every batch from each of the morning picks, as well as those of the individual parcels, were kept separate in the cellar so as to aid quality selection when it came to assembling the final blend. On the bouquet the wine shows alluring aromas of white pear, elderflower and subtle hints of toasted vanilla and white flowers. The palate is fresh yet creamy with the ripe pear and citrus acidity following through. Well-integrated oak allows for a toasty and lingering finish.
