Opening with lifted notes of violets, cassis, and a touch of liquorice that signal its Stellenbosch pedigree, the 2021 Hartenberg Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful example of Patrick Ngamane's ability to capture the terroir.
The palate brings dark plum and mulberry wrapped in gentle smoky oak, supported by smooth tannins and bright acidity. The finish is long and satisfying, showing real depth and aging potential.
It will pair beautifully with grilled beef, slow cooked lamb, or a mushroom and herb risotto.
