Winemaker Notes
Pale lemon green in color, the 09 Pinot Grigio displays an
attractive nose with hints of melon, pear and apple blossom. The
palate is fresh and lively with a touch of spice and citrus.
The tannin of Pinot Grigio adds firmness and structure to the
palate. A hint of Viognier contributes to the luscious mouth feel.
Sumptuous fruit flavors are balanced by a crisp, dry, flinty finish
making it the perfect accompaniment to richly flavored foods.
Dry, medium bodied and un-oaked.
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.
