Hartenberg Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Hartenberg Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Stellenbosch expression with depth and structure. Aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and dark plum are layered with hints of cedar, tobacco, truffle and forest floor. The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, with concentrated dark fruit supported by firm, polished tannins and balanced acidity. French oak maturation adds complexity and spice, while the finish is long, savoury and built for ageing.

"This Cabernet offers up everything you`d hunt for in Bordeaux, yet this red is from South Africa`s Hartenberg. Deep black in colour with cigar box, pencil shavings and truffle overlaying the ripe, rich red and black fruit beneath. Judicious use of oak and good acidity provides an impressive structure which this pure fruit clings to, offering lingering, fine tannins on the finish."

Established in 1692, Hartenberg should need little introduction, as one of South Africa’s oldest wineries. By understanding and working with nature Hartenberg ensure that their wines are unique.
