Experience the refined sophistication of The Eleanor Hartenberg Chardonnay, the winery’s self-styled super-premium Chardonnay that truly earns its title. Crafted in the picturesque vineyards of South Africa, this exquisite wine is a testament to the meticulous care and artistry of winemaking, making it a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, The Eleanor Hartenberg Chardonnay reveals a brilliant pale gold hue, hinting at its vibrancy. The nose is a captivating bouquet of creamy and nutty fruit with refreshing acidity, sleek minerality, and sharp citrus notes. It spends a whole year in all-new French oak, and on the palate, you can detect the rich body, warm vanilla, and an enduring round finish, complemented by luscious notes of ripe peach and lemon curd. Its crisp acidity and elegant texture lead to a long, refreshing finish that lingers delightfully.
Perfect Serve
Serve this exceptional Chardonnay chilled at around 10-12°C to highlight its crispness and complexity. It pairs beautifully with seafood, roasted chicken, and creamy pasta dishes, making it an ideal choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions.
The Winery
Established in 1692, Hartenberg Estate is one of South Africa’s oldest wineries, renowned for its commitment to quality and excellence. At the helm is cellar master Carl Schultz, who has been making wines at Hartenberg for over 20 years. His deep connection to the terroir and unwavering dedication to producing pure, elegant, and terroir-driven wines are evident in every bottle.
Situated at 350 meters above sea level on deep clay loam soils in the Bottelary Hills of the Stellenbosch region, Hartenberg benefits from a Mediterranean-type climate. Cool breezes channelled down the valley from the ocean and poor gravelly soils create optimal conditions for grape growing. As a leading member of the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative in South Africa, Hartenberg has established various initiatives to protect the 170 hectares of natural wetland on the farm, ensuring the health of the vines and a sustainable future for the land.

Stunning depth and rich body. I can almost tell if a red wine is going to be good by the lack of a white rim around when you pour the glass. This has a lovely blood ted colour and delivers.

I'm just going to be honest here, I'm a Gavi Girl and have been trying to find this little gem for a while. It's absolutely delicious and so adaptable too. Thrilled with the price, delivery and service and happily ordering more!

A lovely drink and remarkably good value . Smooth and buttery with that unmistakable Napa terroir writ large. Nothing not to like.

Another fantastic wine tasting. But with a difference. Wine bottles concealed in black numbered bags 1-7. Black glasses. So we were unaware of what we were tasting, having to rely on taste and smell alone. We had tasting notes to guide our thoughts once we had made a few notes ourselves. It was great fun. I managed to at least figure out whether or not the wine was red. But missed the rose and mistook one white for red.
The Wine Shop tasting are great fun. Highly recommend.

Great evening getting confused and educated at the very interesting Mystery Wine Tasting with 7 secret wines in black bags to taste using black glasses so you couldn’t tell if it was white, rose, or red. Kelli and Caroline gave great guidance and helped us work through what we were smelling and tasting to get to a grape and country. My two fears were that (1) I wouldn’t recognise a Tempranillo (especially as it turned out to be one I have often purchased!) and (2) that I’d actually like a Merlot!!! (Luckily there wasn’t one 😂). Another brilliant wine tasting.

We really enjoyed the Rose Wine Tasting which showcased a great selection of styles so that there was something that suited everyone around our table . Really informative about the different production methods and busted some myths! Wine Shop Winscombe tastings are always great value and great fun.

The first time I tasted the Long Barn I paid £15 for a large glass in a upmarket town pub. £15!! Oh my though, it was delicious..
Full bodied, fruity with and intense spicy finish, I had to fight my partner for the rest of the glass once he’d been given a taste.
Imagine my delight when I found it here at Vinoshop for less than £15 for the bottle! I’ll take a cheeky box of 6 thanks!

Another great wine tasting, with an exciting range of Summer Wines. Starting with a surprisingly good gently sparkling Asti, with an outstanding Penfolds 311 Chardonnay, with some fresh Summery reds including a great, full bodied Cabernet Franc from Argentina. As ever, expertly curated and explained. Looking forward to the next tastings.

The dark fruit, hint of spice and chocolate make for a truly delicious Valpolicella! I’m here to order another six bottle.. yum! 😋

I am very much enjoying this whisky in the evening for a night cap. It is beautifully smooth, well balanced, with a elegant floral sweetness.

I recently shopped at vinoshop.co.uk and was really impressed. The website is easy to use, with helpful wine descriptions that made choosing the right bottle a lot simpler. I was looking for a gift for a Ruby anniversary, and their team suggested a stunning Portuguese red wine—it was perfect!
The checkout process was smooth, and my order arrived quickly, beautifully packaged. Plus, the customer service was fantastic—they were quick to answer my questions and offer great advice.
If you're after quality wines and excellent service, I highly recommend The Wine Shop. It’s a great experience from start to finish.

Thank you so much for the recommendation, it went beautifully with the mackerel we had last night.

Just right for sharing with my visiting family and now for supping on the Isles of Scilly.
Thank you Matthew and Kelli (and new team member Carolyn? whom I have yet to meet!). Great to hear about your new business plans. J.

Pre-selected white wine case of 12, a lovely selection perfect for summer bbq’s and entertaining. Super fast delivery too.

Absolutely fantastic pure nectar, heavenly!
