Hartenberg vertical tasting captures 20 years of winemaking with Carl Schultz
26 January 2013  by GC Communications
Join Hartenberg Wine Estate from Wednesday, 30 January to Sunday, 3 February during this year’s Stellenbosch Wine Festival and celebrate winemaker Carl Schultz’s 20th harvest with rare vertical tastings of the flagship single vineyard Hartenberg Gravel Hill Shiraz.
As one of South Africa’s oldest Shiraz producers, Hartenberg enjoys wide acclaim for its exceptional terroir and Carl’s masterly ability to work with this variety. Shiraz lovers can look forward to comparing different vintages of this single vineyard Gravel Hill Shiraz.

Alternatively, Hartenberg invites Wine Festival goers to an authentic winelands picnic experience in the estate’s picturesque garden. Picnic baskets will be filled with local culinary delights from Hartenberg’s kitchen baked farm bread, perfect with Eleanor’s famous snoek pate, to a rich combination of terrines. Rosemary focaccia, delivered daily by a local family owned bakery and delicious salads dressed in a neighbour’s olive oil will add to the selection of delicious picnic treats.

To avoid disappointment, Shiraz lovers should book now for the Single Vineyard Shiraz Tastings available at R 50 per person, offered daily from Wednesday, 30 January to Sunday, 3 February by calling (+27) 21-8652541 or e-mailing info@hartenbergestate.com. The picnics at R145 per adult include a carafe of Hartenberg wine and are served seven days a week between 12h00 and 14h00. Children’s picnic basket available at R45.

To taste the full range of Hartenberg and other Stellenbosch wines, be sure to visit the three-day Stellenbosch Wine Festival Expo at Die Braak, the town’s famous grassy square, from 1 to 3 February 2013. For more info visit www.stellenboschwinefestival.co.za.

Hartenberg Wine Estate is situated on the Bottelary Road (M23) off the R304 to Stellenbosch.
