Heartland, ‘Sposa e Sposa’, Dolcetto/Lagrein, Langhorne Creek, South Australia 2021

Heartland is that place between the vines with the best view of the gum trees. You might be in another part of Australia or another part of the world …but you can taste it from where you are. 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 Nick Keukenmeester, they grew Heartland into an award-winning winery, producing the first vintage in 2001.

This Italian blend with intense cherry red recedes to a bright crimson rim in the glass. Aromas of summer rose garden completement the foundation of plums, blueberry and blueberry. The pleasantly savoury palate is made up of blueberry and blackberry with a hint of wild liquorice on the finish. The mouthfeel is soft and forward, with a long finish. This can be enjoyed at cellar temperature in the cooler months or chilled down for summer drinking. The aromas are of a fresh berries and plum jam. It opens up on the palate to reveal blackberry and raspberry and an array of soft spices that will remind you of Christmas or Thanksgiving. 2021 Vintage: The layers of flavour will surprise and delight. This is ready for enjoyment any time.
