Winemaker Notes
This 2007 wine is densely coloured and intensely fragrant with plummy characters on the palate and a concentrated nose of lifted plums and cassis. Extended skin contact with the intensity of the 07 vintage has given us savory tannins and a rich textural wine which is textbook Cabernet Sauvignon in character. It has a fine tannin structure and will age gracefully for up to 8 years.

Velvety cassis and floral cherry scents slowly meld with the choclatey oak in this wine. At first, it's a little starbucked (the scent of a caffe mocha), but air brings out an animal intensity and deepens the fruit to dark purple berries. The gamey aspect will match roast lamb.

Owner and winemaker Ben Glaetzer’s work in Langhorne Creek is one of the most exciting stories in Australia today. Heartland Wines came out of a lunch in 1999 between Ben and three friends, and a fear that rather than expressing the diversity of sites and rich history of the country, Australian wines were heading in a generic, commercial direction. Ben had grown excited at older, high quality vineyards he had seen in the cool-climate Langhorne Creek area, Australia’s oldest settled wine region, one hour south of Adelaide and southeast of McLaren Vale. With a temperature summation approximately equivalent to Alsace, the best Langhorne Creek vineyards benefit from very cool nights that offset warm days, with temperature swings that can reach nearly 40 degrees within a day. The Heartland Wines from Langhorne Creek display the originality and appeal of the area’s regional and varietal characteristics – they are food-friendly, balanced wines offering tremendous value.
