Hartenberg "The Megan" 2017 [TA 94]

Tim Atkin MW 94 points.

The Megan is a tribute to Megan Mackenzie, wife of Ken “Stork”

Mackenzie whose family still owns Hartenberg Estate. Megan

met Ken whilst still at school and, once time passed, they got

married and so started a wonderful love story. Initially assisting

in the family business, but also a celebrated harpist, Megan

sowed the early seeds for the decision to later buy Hartenberg,

whilst on their honeymoon vacationing in the Cape many years

ago. Megan sadly passed away as a relatively young lady and

Ken never remarried till his passing in 2003.

66% Shiraz

21% Grenache

13% Mourvedre

TASTING NOTES:

Complex and alluring with an enticing bouquet of

perfumed spice, nutmeg, and cranberries, with floral and

savoury notes that intermingle seamlessly. Upon the first sip,

lush flavours of bright, ripe berries burst onto the palate,

beautifully balanced by fine tannins that give structure and

depth to the wine, and allows for a lingering finish.
