2013 Heartland Dolcetto Lagrein
Heartland
The Dolcetto was cool fermented on skins for seven days before being crushed and matured in stainless steel in order to preserve the fresh, floral notes of the variety. The Lagrein was matured in new French oak barrels after fermentation to create a rounder, softer texture.
The brightness and depth of Lagrein complement the floral and fruit driven Dolcetto. Deep ruby in colour, it enjoys all the aromas of a garden in Spring. The soft palate offers blackberry, liquorice and violets and a long savoury finish. This is the most versatile wine in the Heartland range for food pairing. Asian, Italian, French and any number of other cuisines make a fine accompaniment.

Enough oomph to appeal to shiraz drinkers and the character to make it a generally irresistible choice. This label has been putting out mid-table hits for years but this season's release ramps up the weight and in the process, the 'selling proposition'. Cloves, tar, musk and black cherries, with herbal nuances nestled into the sweet fruit. Tidy tannin and tasty at every turn.
