Hartenberg Wine Estate has just released two more wines for the enjoyment of the already committed Hartenberg follower, yet guaranteed to interest and attract the uninitiated as well.
IN ONE of the cavernous temperature-controlled cellars of Hartenberg Wine Estate near Stellenbosch, a new French oak wine barrel bears the tag “CWG PTG Shiraz Blend 2016”.
IN 1988, Hartenberg’s Ken MacKenzie hosted a tasting of shiraz from around the world as a benchmarking exercise for the wine-writing and wine-judging fraternity.
In his third annual guide to Cape wine, internationally acclaimed wine journalist Tim Atkin MW hails South Africa as the most dynamic and exciting winemaking country in the New World.
Named after the Mackenzie family in a 400-year lineage of owners, The Mackenzie 2012 has earned a place amongst some of the world’s finest, by winning a Gold medal at the 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA).
