Hartenberg The Stork Shiraz 2020

Name: Hartenberg The Stork Shiraz 2020
Brand: Hartenberg Estate
SKU: 51068

A deep ruby red with tinges of purple, revealing ripe cherries intertwined with rich tobacco on the bouquet. The palate is beguilingly smooth with juicy
tannins that unfold into a long, lingering finish. Blackcurrant flavours are laced with a whisper of fine white pepper. Outstanding now but destined to
evolve beautifully with time.

Dijon & herb-crusted rack of Lamb served with a simple jus.
