Hartenberg The Eleanor Chardonnay 2021
Stellenbosch, South Africa
Ripe stone fruits of golden peaches and apricots intermingled with lemon zest and minerality on the nose. The palate displays structured acidity, notes of apples and prominent lemon and lime with hints of walnut. A long and lingering finish.

A leaner, more linear style of Chardonnay is much in fashion but if you hanker after a more powerful rendition then look no further than The Eleanor 2017 from Stellenbosch property Hartenberg. Matured for 11 months in 228-litre French oak barrels, 30% new, it has a modest alcohol of 13.34% but still packs a punch. The nose shows citrus, apple plus lots of leesy complexity while the palate is rich and thick textured, counter-balanced by vibrant acidity, the finish long and savoury. Layers and layers of flavour. 93/100
