The farm is nestled in a valley on the free-draining, north-eastern slopes of the Bottelary Hills in Stellenbosch,  Hartenberg enjoys a Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and cold, wet winters.

Our vineyards face north, west, and east, with varietals planted to take advantage of either morning or afternoon sun. There is a difference in altitude of some 250 metres between the northern and southern vineyards.

The philosophy at Hartenberg is to produce soft, rich, yet elegant wines that all have the ability to age and retain brightness of fruit – wines that are timeless, classic and fresh.  This is achieved through combining decades of in-depth knowledge of our terroir with constant innovation and attention to detail.
