WINE DESCRIPTION

Hartenberg Gravel Hill is a premium wine produced by Hartenberg Wine Estate, located in the Stellenbosch appellation of South Africa. The vineyard features unique gravelly soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The grapes are carefully handpicked and sorted before undergoing a traditional winemaking process that includes fermentation in oak barrels and extended aging. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Shiraz, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle hint of oak. Hartenberg Gravel Hill is a perfect representation of the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that Hartenberg Wine Estate is known for.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This wine is a classic example of a full-bodied and deeply-layered red blend from South Africa.The nose offers up aromas of dark fruit, earthy spices, and subtle oak. On the palate, ripe fruit flavors of plums and blackberries mingle with notes of black pepper, cigar box, and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, leading to a long and elegant finish.
