Product information "Hartenberg The Megan 2019"
Hartenberg The Megan is a highly endowed and award-winning red wine cuvée in the classic style of the Southern Rhone. Deeply coloured in the glass, this delicious drop exudes an intense bouquet of dark cherries, ripe raspberries and wonderfully perfumed fruit aromas as well as subtle hints of pepper and fine spices. On the incredibly elegant palate, seductive nuances of dark chocolate and smooth, soft cedar wood notes conquer the senses, accompanied by fragrant vanilla oak tones.
The Megan" wine is a tribute to Megan Mackenzie, wife of Ken "Stork" Mackenzie, whose family still owns the Hartenberg Wine Estate today. Megan met Ken at school, and when they later married, a twenty-four-year love affair began. Megan first worked in the family business, but she was also a celebrated harpist. She sowed the first seeds for the decision to buy Hartenberg Wine Estate later, while they were honeymooning in the Cape in 1952. Megan died sadly in the prime of her life and Ken never remarried.
