Grangehurst Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2000

Dark cherry red colour. Violet, cedar and red berry aromas.

Hartenberg Gravel Hill Shiraz 2000

Black-red core with red rim. Aroma of black pepper, exotic spice and ‘Karoo’ shrub. The mouthfeel is concentrated, spicy and brooding. Hints of cherry, coffee and blackberry fruit surprise the palate. Tannins are soft, but persistent and lingering on the after taste. The wine should peak between 2008 and 2012.

Medium red/purple in colour, the wine has the high-toned blackcurrant, violet and cedar aromas with touches of mint, so typical of a Jonkershoek wine.
