$151.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Lifted aromas of blackcurrant, roasted nut, thyme and game lead to a wonderfully weighted palate that’s ripe and flavoursome. Well structured by fine polished tannins, the wine offers excellent varietal flavours with a lengthy sturdy finish. At its best: now to 2028. 92 points. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Clean bright fruit dominates the palate complimented by dusty tannins, with surprising depth and length of finish.

The fruit was crushed into 8 tonne open fermenters, left on skins to cold macerate for three days prior to fermentation. Fermentation occurred at or under 23°C (with a Rhône isolate yeast). This helped to extract the skin tannin while maintaining aromatics.

The wine underwent its malolactic transformation in oak, was then racked and returned to French and American oak for a 12-month maturation.

Steady winter rainfall and multiple flood events gave us good storage of moisture and healthy vines leading into the growing season. Summer temperatures have offered up robust fruit characters and gold structure that Cabernet Sauvignon loves to present.

Description

The Heartland story began in the late 1990’s when winemaker Ben Glaetzer became excited about the outstanding quality of fruit being grown in some of South Australia’s lesser-known regions, in particular Langhorne Creek.

Together with industry veterans, Scott Collett, Grant Tilbrook and more recently Nick Keukenmeester, they grew Heartland into an award-winning winery.

“A really important point I want to get across is we’re not a group of investors that have got together and poured cash into it for the sake of doing it. We are at the coalface of it.”

Today Heartland sources all of its fruit exclusively from Langhorne Creek and makes only red wines.

Heartland is the essence of Australia’s Langhorne Creek, a region that typifies Australian texture, balance and spice at its finest. Heartland grows and selects grapes with the most flavour per acre through careful vineyard management and years of collective expertise.

The brilliant Ben Glaetzer gives focus and expression to these flavours in the winery. Heartland is the place between the vines that offers the best view of the gum trees.
