Hartenberg The MacKenzie is an intensely lavish South African wine that perfectly blends Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varieties. Evenly matured in French oak casks, this vintage is bestrewn with robust flavours of blackberry, cassis, and violets, underpinned by whispers of aromatic cedar and tobacco. Its extraordinary depth, fleshy yet firm tannins, and velvety finish make it nothing short of a connoisseur's delight. Subtly resonating the MacKenzie family's heritage, Hartenberg's exemplar wine radiates superior class, making it the pièce de résistance at any grand feast or a prized piece in a discerning collector's cellar.

Tasting Notes

Initially red fruit aromatics , then a blend of spicy , cedary oak , classic cigar box and wood vanilla aromas lift from the glass. The palate entry is rich and rounded, but settles to an elegant mid- palate showing a brightness of fruit and finishes with fine-grained tannins
