Hartenberg Estate CWG Auction Reserve 2014

Two of the very best Shiraz parcels on Hartenberg Estate were used to make this wine,
these being the fl agship Gravel Hill Shiraz and near neighbour, The Stork Shiraz. The former
grows in stone, the latter in deep, clay-rich, stone-free, loam soil. This vintage saw a 50/50
contribution to the fi nal blend from the two sites. The wine spent 18 months in French oak
barrels, 60% new, 40% second fi ll. Only two 225 litre barrels were produced.
