Yes, our soil smells. And we’re rather pleased about it.

During our annual EOV monitoring, the TruQuest team even picks up and smells the soil. That rich, earthy smell can be a simple clue that there is biological activity beneath our feet. Alongside this, they look for living roots, plant diversity, insects, worms and other signs of life.

Because healthy soil isn’t simply dirt. It’s a living system.

And to think it all started with a chance encounter at vida e caffè.

That meeting brought the oh-so-special Akhona Songelwa into the Hartenberg family, and today he plays an important role as our herdsman, caring for our Ankole cattle alongside Wilhelm. Sometimes the best stories begin where you least expect them. And this is one we’re very grateful for.

All part of the people, animals and relationships that make Hartenberg what it is.

How do we know if our land is becoming healthier?

We measure it.

Rolf Pretorius and Michal Riddell from TruQuest, the South African Savory Hub responsible for our EOV verification, recently returned to Hartenberg for our annual monitoring.

Each year, they revisit the same areas and record what is happening above and below ground. Over time, that data helps us understand how our soil, water, biodiversity and wider ecosystem are changing. That’s what makes EOV so valuable. It doesn’t simply look at the practices we follow. It measures their outcomes on the land.

The Eleanor Chardonnay 2024 | 94 points
We’re delighted to see The Eleanor Chardonnay recognised with 94 points in Tim Atkin’s 2026 ratings.
A Chardonnay that holds a special place at Hartenberg, and one that reflects the care we put into our vineyards and w**emaking.
A beautiful recognition for the latest vintage of The Eleanor, and for the team behind it.
