The Megan 2018
Roter Cuvée Rhône, Stellenbosch, Südafrika

Perfumed spice of cinnamon and aniseed on the nose with a vibrant, floral tone. The palate is a rich and savoury in character with plush cherry notes and sweet spice. Well- integrated, fine grained tannins allow for a lingering finish.

Food Pairing: Slow roasted shoulder of pork, lamb rogan josh, caramelised roasted root vegetables, rib-eye steak or nutty hard cheeses.

The Megan is a tribute to Megan Mackenzie, wife of Ken "Stork" Mackenzie whose family still owns Hartenberg Wine Estate. Megan met Ken whilst still at school and once time passed, they got married and so started a twenty four year 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 Wine Estate, whilst on their honeymoon vacation to the Cape in 1952. Megan sadly passed away in the prime of her life and Ken never remarried.

Zusammensetzung: Shiraz, Mouvèdre, Grenache
