Information about "Hartenberg Merlot 2021"
Displaying a deep garnet hue, the Hartenberg Merlot unveils an enticing bouquet of red fruits, ripe dried plums, and fresh cranberries, layered with earthy notes of clove and cinnamon. On the palate, it reveals a silky smooth texture, complemented by elegant, taut tannins reminiscent of a pulled string. Flavor profiles range from tart cherries to vanilla, with a subtle savory hint. Decanting is recommended for immediate enjoyment, while aging for five to fifteen years will highlight this wine's remarkable complexity.
Crafted by the esteemed winemaker Carl Shultz, whose talents have received international acclaim: he was awarded the Diners Club Winemaker of the Year Award in 2004 for the Estate Merlot and in 2008 won the IWSC International Trophy for the 2005 vintage, recognized as the world's best Merlot.

Eine Entdeckung!
Der Hartenberg hat sich als eine leckere Entdeckung unter meinen Merlot-Weinproben ergeben. Er ist weich und rund zu Beginn mit komplexen Abgang. Ich habe gleich nachbestellt und werde noch andere Merlots testen.
