Why We Love This Wine

Heartland is the place between the vines with the best view of the gum trees. The cool climate of Langhorne Creek typifies Australia at its finest. Heartland grows & selects grapes with the most flavor per acre through careful vineyard management & years of collective expertise. With a 160 year history of winemaking, the Langhorne Creek Wine Region sits atop an ancient, natural floodplain between the Bremer & Angus Rivers on the shores of Lake Alexandrina and it was these fertile alluvial soils that attracted settlers here who eventually cultivated the land. This is a rich, ripe Shiraz - Cab blend that opens up with aromas of cola, plums, olive, & ground black pepper complemented by hints of mint & vanilla oak. The palate is bold, plush, & sweet fruited with chunky oak that shows up prominently on the finish.
