Product Notes

Hartenberg The Gravel Hill Shiraz is a full-bodied South African wine exhibiting rich, dark plum flavours layered with spicy undertones. It boasts an inviting crimson hue, and a complex nose filled with ripe dark fruits, earthy notes and perfectly integrated spicy oak. Distinguished by its velvety tannin structure, this wine delivers a balanced finish with a hint of liquorice. Its complexity makes it the perfect companion for rich game meats or mature cheeses. Matured for 3 years in French oak barrels, every sip of Hartenberg The Gravel Hill Shiraz speaks of refinement, depth, and superior craftsmanship.
