Last night Hartenberg won Best in Show for their Bordeaux Varietal under £15 at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
The official review describes the wine as follows:
"Bursting with cassis, dark berries and plums, with plenty of fruit sweetness, this is a wine with no hard edges and a world away from some of leafy green Bordeaux blends at this price level. Cedar notes on the nose lead to a rounded, smooth palate, with sweet tobacco, vanilla, spicy oak and genteel hedgerow touches."
Along with Hartenberg and winemaker Carl Schultz, we are thrilled that this wine has made the best in show - winning an International Trophy is a fantastic achievement. Only 33 wines out of over 15,000 entries won an International Trophy – that’s just 0.22%.
