Hartenberg Doorkeeper Merlot Malbec 2021

Captivating aromas of rose petals, dark chocolate, and Turkish delight, intertwined with ripe cherries and plums. On the palate, it reveals vibrant flavours of blackberries and cherries, accentuated by a subtle smokiness, all wrapped in uber-fine tannins.

On its own; with a juicy cheeseburger or mushroom pizza.
