| Comments: | Heartland Wines was created by a
small group of leading South Australian wine identities who are all good
friends and share a passion for making great wine. This
flagship wine made from the finest selection of Shiraz from the 2008
vintage is an opaque purple colour with dark purple hues. It shows superb
aromas of a complex mix of violets, chocolate and cigar box lift. The
palate is an explosion of flavour. Lashings of cassis, briary fruit
flavours and spiced plum followed by back palate flavours of spice,
liquorice and white pepper. Fine grained, soft tannins and perfect balance
followed by a very long lingering finish with hints of blackberry and
plum.
At the International Wine Challenge 2010 this wine won the International Shiraz Trophy, Australian Red Trophy, Australian Shiraz Trophy and South Australian Shiraz Trophy |
