About Bartinney Private Cellar
Bartinney Private Cellar is a family-owned, carbon-neutral wine estate on the steep slopes of Botmaskop, alongside the Helshoogte Pass and overlooking the Banhoek Valley in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Established in 1920 and in the Jordaan family since 1953, the 28-hectare farm is tended today by Rose and Michael Jordaan, with a vision to create excellent wines and reawaken the charm of the historic land. Vines are planted up to 550 metres above sea level on slopes as steep as 45 degrees — wine made on a mountain.
Bartinney makes two ranges. The Flagship Range features the Hourglass Chardonnay and the Skyfall Cabernet Sauvignon, the estate's top wines. The Estate Range includes a Chardonnay, the Élevage Bordeaux-style red blend, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Just Chardonnay, an unoaked Chardonnay. Bartinney wines are sold by the case of six and can be bought online with delivery nationwide across South Africa.
Sustainability is at the heart of the farm: alien trees have been cleared, a fynbos nursery replants the slopes, wildlife corridors have been created and the estate is certified carbon neutral. Visitors can enjoy wine and gin tastings and the Wine & Fynbos experience at the Tasting Shed, open daily 10:00–17:00, stay in four self-catering cottages among the vines, celebrate weddings and private events, or ride and hike the Skyfall trail through the Banhoek Conservancy.
For anyone looking for Stellenbosch wine farms near Cape Town, premium South African Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, wine tasting in the Banhoek Valley, a winelands wedding venue or a mountain escape in the Cape Winelands, Bartinney Private Cellar offers award-winning wines, breathtaking views and a warm family welcome.
