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 />

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

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 />
