Hartenberg 2005 Gravel Hill Shiraz (Stellenbosch)

Country: South Africa / Gravel Hill
Variety: Shiraz Stellenbosch
Winery: Hartenberg /

Beautiful, brooding and with a bit of an edge, the Gravel Hill starts with aromas of smoke, cloves, black currant and pepper, leading into a layered, savory array of rich spice and black fruit. Elegant but assertive, the wine has a distinctive South African character, with a touch of Old World minerality and restraint.
