Description
This wine, structure driven, has tannins that are opulent but forgiving, creating good texture. The nose shows notes of antique cedar that follow through with rich sweet tobacco-like flavors on the palate.
Delivering great depth and elements of fresh rosemary and black fruit and intense plum cassis. Full-bodied and deeply satisfying, it offers a complete and truly rewarding experience. Drink now or cellar for 5 years to enjoy optimal drinkability.

Selective picking and hand sorting of grapes ensured that only the best grapes end up in the fermentation tank. During fermentation, the must was pumped over in stainless steel fermenters and punched down in open-top wooden vats.
The total time on the skins before pressing can be up to 25 days. The wine was then matured for up to 18 months in French oak 225l barrels, of which up to 80 % is new.

Bartinney Private Cellar is set on the dramatic slopes of the Botmaskop alongside the Helshoogte Pass overlooking the picturesque Banhoek Valley in Stellenbosch.
Established in 1912, Bartinney has been in the Jordaan family since 1953. Now Rose and Michael Jordaan tend to the 28-hectare farm, with a vision to create excellent wines and reawaken the charm of the historic land. Creating excellence in wine has not been a singular pursuit. Their belief is that every aspect must work in harmony: agriculture with nature, people with animals, sustainability with excellence.
