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.
