Product information "Hartenberg The Eleanor Chardonnay 2016"
The Hartenberg The Eleanor Chardonnay is par excellence a masterpiece of a Chardonnay! Its seductive bouquet ensnares the nose with delicious aromas of fine citrus fruit, lanolin, fragrant hay and fresh tropical fruit. Also fine hints of discreet toasty notes and freshly baked brioche conquer the senses. On the palate, this award-winning top wine presents itself with a lavishly full-bodied and opulently melting character, which is perfectly rounded off by a fine play of acids. A drop of restrained elegance and a long-lasting finish for a perfect pleasure experience!
Hartenberg The Eleanor Chardonnay is a tribute to the matriarch of the Finlayson family who owned the estate from 1948 to 1977. The result of this wonderful wine, like the eponym herself, is strong, resolute and demanding.
