Hartenberg Shiraz 2021

Hartenberg Shiraz is a rich and expressive Stellenbosch red that balances ripe fruit with savoury complexity. Aromas of blackberry, dark plum and blueberry are layered with notes of cracked black pepper, spice and subtle oak. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with generous dark fruit, smooth tannins and vibrant acidity bringing freshness and structure. Smoky nuances and peppery spice linger on the finish, creating a powerful yet refined Shiraz with excellent food-pairing versatility.

"Plum and mulberry aromas on the nose, wrapped in a warm embrace of cinnamon, anise, and pepper. The palate is full and enveloping, with well-integrated tannins adding depth. A seamless marriage of dark fruit and spice is complemented by a smoky, meaty edge. Excellently balanced and complex, this wine is a true reflection of Hartenberg’s unique terroir."
