Bartinney is situated on the hellish high slopes of Helshoogte Pass and overlooks the picturesque Banghoek Valley in Stellenbosch. Passionately involved husband and wife team, Michael and Rose Jordaan, repurchased the 40 ha family farm in 2006 with a vision to create excellent wines and reawaken the charm of the beautiful property. The newly renovated boutique cellar now produces Sauvignon blanc and Chardonnay from low yielding vineyards positioned on cooler elevated slopes. Cabernet Sauvignon is planted in deep red soils on the slightly lower foothills. The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon vintage is currently maturing in French oak and will only be released mid 2010. This cultivar has a noble reputation in the area where neighbouring wineries have received numerous accolades confirming its supremacy. Bartinney’s Cabernet Sauvignon is sure to follow.
