Bartinney Chardonnay 2020

R295.00

Region: Stellenbosch

Tasting Notes:

This fruit-forward wine leans towards a fresh style with lime, apricot, and green pineapple notes on the nose. The oak component, presented as wood spice notes, is perfectly integrated and not overpowering. Almond notes provide an interesting twist. On the palate, the subtle sweetness and fresh acidity marry well, resulting in an elegant wine. As on the nose, the oak component is well integrated and provides vanilla and coconut notes. The texture is ripe and creamy and carries through to a long finish.

Food Pairing

Try pairing with creamy prawn and saffron tagliatelle, or poached salmon with caper butter sauce.

Bartinney Private Cellar is set on the dramatic slopes of the Botmaskop alongside the Helshoogte Pass overlooking the picturesque Banghoek Valley in Stellenbosch. Established in 1912, Bartinney has been in the Jordaan family since 1953. Now Rose and Michael Jordaan tend to the twenty-eight hectare farm, with a vision to create excellent wines and reawaken the charm of the historic land. Creating excellence in wine has not been a singular pursuit. Their belief is that every aspect must work in harmony: agriculture with nature, people with animals, sustainability with excellence.
The old vines are planted to a height of 550m above sea level and with slopes as steep as forty-five degrees, creating wines that have exceptional expression and character. Small pockets of low yielding, hand-tended Chardonnay vineyards offer up perfect fruit on the cooler elevated slopes.
The winged figure depicted on each Bartinney bottle is called ‘Elevage’ and symbolises the French art of the selective maturing and ascension of a wine to its ultimate heights, unfurling its most noble traits. This idea is embodied in the team work, small-lot artisanal craft and gentle methods, relied upon at Bartinney to create excellence year-on-year.
