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. Fine-grained, dry tannins prompt a lingering savory and earthy finish.
Barrel Ageing: 18 months 50% in new French oak. Maturation: 8 – 20 years from vintage.

On the slopes of Bottelary Hills bordering Stellenbosch, is a family estate where nature provides the perfect backdrop to grow, produce and share award-winning wines. Summer at Hartenberg brings picnics on the lawns followed by buoyant games of boule. Winter invites you to intimate fireside lunches and sumptuous reds, smoky charcuterie and olives, and sensorial cellar tours.
The Wetland Conservation Area, alongside the vineyards, makes for a beautiful setting for walks and shared family fun. The estate is home to plentiful wildlife and over 120 species of birds. Carl Schultz, the cellarmaster, graduated as Dux student in 1988 from Elsenburg. He joined Hartenberg Estate as Winemaker in 1994. The Estate first came to prominence in the late 1970s under the label, producing top-end Shiraz. Today the property produces three highly regarded examples of this grape.
