Hartenberg "The Eleanor" Chardonnay 2017 [TA 95]

95 points Tim Atkin, 4½ stars Platter’s SA Wine Guide,

TASTING NOTES:

Citrus with lanolin, hay and tropical fruits on the bouquet. Also

very subtle toasty, brioche notes. The palate is plush on entry,

rich and melded yet shows a fine acidity that provides a perfect

balance to the wine. A restrained elegance and lingering

aftertaste completes the wine.

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?
