HARTENBERG Cabernet Sauvignon - Stellenbosch 2021 Bottle

Description

Showcasing some of Stellenbosch’s premium terroir, particularly from the cool-sloped Bottelary Hills, the 2021 vintage benefited from a longer, cooler growing season, resulting in a wine of exceptional poise and aromatic intensity. On the nose, it opens with quintessential notes of blackcurrant and dark plum, interwoven with subtle hints of cigar box, lead pencil, and earthy fynbos.

The palate is impressively structured, featuring fine-grained tannins that provide a firm yet silky backbone. Flavours of ripe bramble fruit are balanced by a refreshing acidity and well-integrated French oak, leading to a long, sophisticated finish. This wine captures the elegance of the estate’s deep red clay soils, offering immediate enjoyment while possessing the structural integrity to age gracefully for well over a decade.
