CWG Hartenberg Merlot 2018
Merlot, Stellenbosch, Südafrika

About the Cape Winemakers Guild (CWG):

Every year in October the CWG auction is being held at Spiers/Stellenbosch. All winemakers of the Guild are allowed to present one or two specific wines made only for this event showing great quality basically to market the wine making capabilities of the estate and South Africa in general. That auction is well positioned in the wine industry and every year wine lovers and collectors from all over the world join the event to bid for the finest South African wines. All these wines are being sold in smaller quantities. Most wines stay in South Africa and they are nearly impossible to find in Europe. Except for the wines we are buying at CWG.

Tasting Notes:
Perfumed, cherry, ripe plums with French oak aromatics. The palate is well balanced, medium bodied and displays glorious elegance. Supple, silky tannins linger on the palate, having a Boedeaux Right Bank feel.

Ready for drinking from 2023 through to 2035.
