About this Item
Anthonij Rupert - Cabernet Franc 2010 (6 x 750ml)
The 2010 Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Franc is a refined and complex wine, capturing a remarkable balance between bold flavors and elegant structure. On the nose, expect an enticing blend of blackberry pastille, oregano, cocoa, graphite, and fynbos—a nod to its South African terroir. The palate opens with juicy, spicy blackberry fruit complemented by cocoa and a touch of cinnamon, followed by hints of herbs for added depth. The wine's inky texture is supported by dry, fine tannins that add grip without overshadowing the fruit. Plush, layered, and elegantly structured, this Cabernet Franc offers a lasting finish that underscores its sophisticated character. Ideal for collectors seeking a wine with both intensity and finesse.
Hartenberg - The Stork & Gravel Hill 2011 (2 x 1.5L)
From the home of Shiraz, two icons emerge from the 2011 vintage. The Gravel Hill Syrah, all grit and grace, and The Stork Shiraz, full of swagger and charm.
The Gravel Hill Syrah’s vines thrive on a unique layer of iron-rich “koffie-klip,” producing a wine with concentrated, old-world flavours of smoke, dark berries, and forest floor.
Just a few kilometres away, The Stork Shiraz benefits from deep terra rossa clay, fostering a slower ripening season and yielding a bold, fruit-forward wine with notes of cherry, violet, and black pepper. These two wines, showcasing the pinnacle of what can be vinously achieved at Hartenberg, are available here in magnum format, each bottle a tribute to the estate’s unique terroir.
