The estate
High on the Botmaskop above the Banghoek Valley, Bartinney is a family-owned cellar known for Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon from steep mountain vineyards, with cottages for overnight stays.
Bartinney sits on the slopes of the Botmaskop beside the Helshoogte Pass, overlooking the Banghoek Valley. The Jordaan family has farmed here for generations, and Rose and Michael Jordaan have run it since 2006, rehabilitating the land with more than 5,000 trees and fynbos.
Wine
Vineyards climb to 550 m on slopes as steep as 45 degrees. Chardonnay grows on the cooler upper slopes and Cabernet Sauvignon on the lower foothills, with Sauvignon Blanc also in the range. Winemaker Therese de Beer makes small-lot, sustainably farmed wines.
