Hartenberg - The MEGAN 2019 - COMING SOON
-
Product Info
The Megan is a tribute to Megan Mackenzie, wife of Ken “Stork” Mackenzie whose family still owns Hartenberg Estate. Megan met Ken whilst still at school and, once time passed, they got married and so started a wonderful love story. Initially assisting in the family business, but also a celebrated harpist, Megan sowed the early seeds for the decision to later buy Hartenberg, whilst on their honeymoon vacationing in the Cape many yearsago. Megan sadly passed away as a relatively young lady and Ken never remarried till his passing in 2003.TASTING NOTE Enchanting perfumed florals and notes of violet, intertwined with sweet spice and the deep allure of black fruit and underbrush on the nose. The palate unveils a silky-smooth and elegant character, revealing savoury and smokey undertones. Hints of tobacco and luscious mulberry mingle with blackberries, all harmoniously supported by well integrated, ultra-fine tannins.
FOOD PAIRING Slow roasted shoulder of pork, lamb Rogan josh, caramelized roasted root vegetables, rib-eye steak or nutty hard cheese.
