hartenberg<br />

Situated in its own valley on the free draining<br />

north-eastern slopes of the Bottelary Hills,<br />

Hartenberg’s vineyards face north, west<br />

and east. With grape varieties planted<br />

to take advantage of either morning or<br />

afternoon sun, there is a difference in<br />

altitude of some 250 metres between the<br />

northern and southern vineyards. All the<br />

wines are grown, produced and bottled<br />

on the estate. It is located to the north of<br />

Stellenbosch with six varieties planted on<br />

eight soil types.<br />

ITEM 8 HARTENBERG<br />

ThE MACKENZIE 2004<br />

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot<br />

Cases: 10 (6 x 750ml)<br />

Reserve price per case: R 1,800<br />

A% 14.92 RS 2.10 TA 6.20 ph 3.51<br />

Free SO2 22 Total SO2 77<br />

This classically styled, richly structured wine<br />

has a strong blackcurrant element, but with<br />

some violets and dark chocolate as well. The<br />

cigar box character that the wood provides is<br />

balanced by the rich fruit present in the wine.<br />

Further cellaring will be an advantage. The<br />

wine is named The Mackenzie in recognition of<br />

the family of the late Ken Mackenzie, who was<br />

responsible for the regeneration of Hartenberg<br />

after he purchased the estate in 1986.<br />

ITEM 141 HARTENBERG<br />

One of three Shiraz wines presently made at<br />

the estate, this limited volume wine represents<br />

a vineyard selection of Shiraz from a specific<br />

site that is planted solely on clay – rich, deep,<br />

red soils – on the south-eastern portion of the<br />

estate. The Stork Shiraz honours the late Ken<br />

Mackenzie – pilot, businessman, farmer and<br />

benefactor. ‘Stork’ was Ken’s Second World<br />

War nickname (he was a Spitfire pilot, tall<br />

with long thin legs) and Hartenberg Shiraz<br />

was always his wine of choice.<br />
