Chardonnay | 2023
The bouquet showcases fresh citrus and pear aromas with a touch of apricot. On the palate, zesty lemon and lime meet a clean mineral edge. Crisp acidity adds brightness, while a subtle creaminess rounds out the texture. Refreshing and refined.

About Hartenberg Chardonnay
Already known for our world-class Shiraz, it seems our Chardonnay is Hartenberg's next star with it's consistency in ratings and awards. Grapes 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.
