Bartinney Hourglass Chardonnay 2020

R615.00

Region: Stellenbosch

Tasting note:

Flavours of peach blossoms with a hint of cinnamon and camomile leaves swirls out of the glass. The wine has a firm, slightly herbaceous texture with a deep core of wood tannins. It has the sensation of licking a peach pip after eating the ripe fruit. The long lingering firm intensity on the back palate is enhanced by a creamy yeastiness, due to the extended lees maturation.

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.
This small-batch release, is a barrel selection from the oldest Chardonnay vineyard on the farm that was planted in 1990, crafted from the estates best hand-selected blocks.
