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. Our belief is that every aspect must work in harmony: agriculture with nature, people with animals, sustainability with excellence. The old vines are planted to a height of 550m above sea level and with slopes as steep as 45 degrees, creating wines that have exceptional expression and character. Small pockets of low yielding, hand-tended Chardonnay vineyards offer up perfect fruit on the cooler elevated slopes. On the slightly lower foothills of the Botmaskop mountains the Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards are tended to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winged figure depicted on each bottle is called ‘Elevage’ and symbolises the French art of the selective maturing and ascension of a wine to its ultimate heights, unfurling its most noble traits. This idea is embodied in the team work, small-lot artisanal craft and gentle methods, relied upon to create excellence year-on-year.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bartinney-skyfall-cabernet-sauvignon-2018","title":"Bartinney Skyfall Cabernet Sauvignon 2018","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"459\" data-start=\"418\"\u003eBartinney Skyfall Cabernet Sauvignon 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"553\" data-start=\"524\"\u003eOVERVIEW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"878\" data-start=\"556\"\u003eThe \u003cem data-end=\"595\" data-start=\"560\"\u003eBartinney Cabernet Sauvignon 2018\u003c\/em\u003e reflects the estate’s mountain-slope origins in the Banhoek Valley, structured, elegant, and shaped by the cool evening breezes that define this premium site.
