MASSIVE NEWS – we’re reintroducing knockout Aussie range Heartland! Charismatic, straight-shooting Ben Glaetzer – the dynamic winemaker responsible for Amon-Ra, one of Australia’s most sought after reds – is the man behind Heartland. Truly passionate about his craft, Ben loves drinking his wines as much as he loves making them. He says that for a wine to bore him “should be a criminal offence”, an uncompromising philosophy that is reflected in the thrillingly suave and seductive wines that he creates.
The Heartland trio comprises a buxom Shiraz, brooding Cab and sleek Italianesque blend. Made from glossy Langhorne Creek fruit that is seasoned with fresher Limestone Coast juice before being matured in aristocratic Barossa, these bold, rich and irresistibly smooth wines provide the ultimate drinking pleasure and may in fact ruin you for all other reds! (Sorry about that.)
The wines

A pure expression of Australia’s most iconic variety. Weighty, with a glass-coating texture and satisfying flavours of black cherry, anise and cracked peppercorn.

Boasts a classic Cabernet core of blackcurrant, cedar and tobacco, laced with hints of cardamom and charcoal. Drink alongside Moroccan spiced rack of lamb.
Heartland Dolcetto-Lagrein 2011 €17.60 on promo
Hugely interesting Langhorne Creek marriage of two northern Italian grapes: voluptuous, sweet-fruited Dolcetto and brawny, structured Lagrein. Think blackberry jam, liquorice and nutmeg.
