Occupying its own valley, this family estate is situated on the northeast facing slopes of the Bottelary Hills in the Stellenbosch region. Here nature has provided the perfect soils and climate to grow and produce award- winning wines. This family owned wine estate offers beautifully crafted wines, scrumptiuos lunches, tours of our underground cellar and pristine walking trials through 60 hectares of conserved wetlands. Hartenberg Estate's 99 hectares of vineyard comprise a total of nine different soil types and many different aspects and microclimates. The six site-specific varietals that have been planted, Sauvignon Blanc, Rhine Riesling, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinotage, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are the backbone of Hartenberg's future. So as to protect the vines in years with significant heat peaks and the resulting drought conditions, all vineyards that are part of the re-planting program have drip irrigation lines. Their presence means that vine stress can be minimised as a result of judicious application of water.
