{"product_id":"gravel-hill-2021","title":"Gravel Hill 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eHartenberg Gravel Hill 2021 comes from a small Syrah parcel on the lower slopes of the estate. Its distinctive ground layers iron-rich stones over fine clay. As the clay cracks in dry conditions, it holds water for the vines; when it swells again with rain, it can restrict root growth. This interplay helps shape the site’s distinctive expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHartenberg’s Shiraz story reaches back to 1968, when it became the first South African producer to bottle the variety. Gravel Hill holds a special place in that history: the estate describes it as the country’s first single-vineyard wine. Its first ten vintages were sold through the Cape Winemakers Guild, before it returned to Hartenberg as a flagship in 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive this wine time and a little quiet. Pour it with a slow-cooked supper, let the conversation wander, and return to the glass as its layers gradually come into focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViolet and perfumed aromas lead, with white pepper adding a lifted, savoury edge. On the palate, fine-grained tannins give the wine a poised, classically structured feel, while the stone-influenced character brings a firm, mineral thread through the finish. Let it unfold slowly in the glass alongside a generous meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTry grilled lamb chops with rosemary, where the herbs echo the wine’s savoury side; slow-braised beef short ribs, for a hearty match to its structure; or a wild mushroom and lentil pie, whose earthy flavours make a satisfying companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarietal Composition: Shiraz 100%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 500px;\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 750 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 13,5 %\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 5,9 g\/l\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epH:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 3,42\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRS:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 3,3 g\/l\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"search-text-block d-none\"\u003eEstate: Hartenberg Wine Estate\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taste of Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66139738898781,"sku":"HARGH21","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/2281\/8653\/files\/Gravel_Hill.png?v=1759243889","url":"https:\/\/taste-of-africa.eu\/products\/gravel-hill-2021","provider":"Taste of Africa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
