R578.00

Maturation:

12 months 225L French oak barriques, 50% new, 50% second fill

Tasting note:

Lime-citrus on the nose opens up to pear and hints of stone fruit and white flowers. The palate is roused by a chalky minerality and a crisp orange-peel-like zest. There is a follow through of the ripe pear character balanced with brioche notes and a lingering finish that warrants savouring.

The first settlers to cultivate the virgin land of the estate now known as Hartenberg were friends Cunraad Boin and Christoffel Esterhuizzen who were granted permission to work 60 morgen (20 ha) of the land in 1692. Even then the wine-bearing potential of the soil was recognized and one of the first tasks that the two partners undertook was the clearing of the land to plant 2 000 vines.

The estate, on the slopes of the Bottelary Hills bordering Stellenbosch Has been owned since 1986 by the MacKenzie family. They strive to safeguard Hartenberg and are proud members of Biodiversity and Wine (BWI) and Integrated Production of Wine (IPW). The estate is home to plentiful wildlife and over 120 species of birds – inspiration to combine the best of nature with fine wine.
