Hartenberg Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Hartenberg Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – The king of red wines – consistently a show stopper and delivers

A sublimely expressive wine that shows promise to deliver even more with ageing. Vibrant black cherry and blackcurrant on the nose underpinned by aromas of fynbos and tobacco. Just-ripe, juicy dark fruit is present on entry as well, showcasing an elegant and plush palate.

Climate change is a reality and for the Western Cape in South Africa this means temperatures are increasing, rainfall is decreasing, and soil health suffers. We have to plan and adapt now to ensure the longevity of our estate, its people and our wines.
In alignment with the Mackenzie family, owners of the estate since 1986, our Cellar Master, Carl Schultz, who has long been a passionate advocate of working with nature, has overseen many of the regenerative agriculture projects implemented to harness and protect the natural resources since he joined Hartenberg in 1994.
Due to its positive impact on the environment, regenerative agriculture is truly the only antidote to the climate crisis we are facing. Hartenberg’s regenerative approach encompasses all aspects of the farm, including everyone who lives and works there.

The core idea of regenerative agriculture revolves around working with nature, instead of against it, to increase land productivity and biodiversity. A key factor in achieving this is the restoration of soil health and fertility through increasing soil organic matter and closing the carbon cycle by farming in harmony with nature.
