The Eleanor – Chardonnay | 2022
Pale honeyed yellow in the glass, offering flinty aromas layered with notes of peaches and cream. The palate is richly creamy, balanced by a crisp finish with fresh acidity. Flavours of walnut and apricot add depth, creating a wine that is deeply nuanced and impressive.

About The Eleanor
The Eleanor Chardonnay honours the matriarch of the Finlayson family who, with her husband Maurice, owned Hartenberg Estate (then “Montagne”) from 1948 to 1977. Strong and resolute in character, yet always sophisticated and poised, who better personifies our super-premium Chardonnay?
