Hartenberg Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2010

Peppery and spicy with luscious berry aromas. The wine has elegance and rich fruit flavours. The fruit/oak balance is stylish and has a smooth, silky "drink me" finish.

Independent Tasting Note
"Enduring favourite; smoky plum aromas, accessible berry fruit with grip" - Platters (2011).

The wine has the ability to grace all tables from those where fine cuisine is offered to those where companionship and relaxation are preferred. Pizza with all its various toppings (but not too much chilli), all traditionally prepared meat dishes (i.e. stews and grills), grilled or roasted game fish (ideally without a lemon based sauce) or for pudding.

    • ageing : Up to 8 years from vintage
    in the vineyard : In much the same way that many Bordeaux chateaux have their "second" wines this is ours. While specific vineyard blocks are dedicated to the blend to ensure consistency of character, grapes, which haven’t quite cracked the nod for our Super Premium wines (due to our critical selection philosophy), find their way happily
    into this blend.

    2010 was a small, yet excellent vintage for the growing of red wines with persistent, warm, dry weather conditions resulting in small berries and concentrated structured wines.
    in the cellar : 12 months 1st 2nd and 3rd fill French Oak Barrels
