About Doorkeeper Reserve Red

Much like the second wines of Bordeaux châteaux, this is ours. Specific vineyard blocks are earmarked for the blend, while other parcels selected during our rigorous grading process also contribute. First produced in 1990, it’s now our best-seller.

Our Doorkeeper range of wines invite you into the world of Hartenberg. The label features iconic symbols of life on the farm: the Ankole bull, the clover, the sugarbird, and the open door to our Underground Wine Cellar, Each detail tells part of our story – one rooted in nature, care, and quiet innovation.

Crafted for the everyday moments, these wines are approachable and generous, yet carry the hallmark quality and character you’ve come to expect from Hartenberg.
