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.
