About this Item
“The berry of the vine is unique. This product develops a life of its own, a second life after grapes, and it has this amazing history; it goes back to biblical times. It’s one of the ancient liquids along with olive oil and honey.” - Carl Schultz
93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc
• The Hartenberg Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has been bottled since the 1968 vintage.
• The wine was selected from the single best Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard on the Estate to make this wine.
• Only three barrels of this wine were made to be sold over only one weekend of an entire year, making it truly exclusive.
• The wine is able to mature beneficially up to 25 years from vintage.
• The 2005 vintage was selected as the IWSC Best International Cabernet, winning the Warren Winiarski Trophy.
Tasting Notes: Brooding. Lead pencil and a mix of blackberry fruit, layers of cigar box and nuances of cedar. The palate exhibits both depth and flavour. Finely meshed tannins ensure a lingering finish.
Ready for drinking 5 years from vintage date and for the following 20 years.
