Hartenberg "The Megan" 2019 [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.

65% Grenache

35% Shiraz

TASTING NOTES:

Enchanting perfumed florals and notes of violet, intertwined

with sweet spice and the deep allure of black fruit and

underbrush on the nose. The palate unveils a silky-smooth

and elegant character, revealing savoury and smokey

undertones. Hints of tobacco and luscious mulberry mingle

with blackberries, all harmoniously supported by well-

integrated, ultra-fine tannins.
