2014 Heartland Spice Trader Cabernet Sauvignon
Heartland
2014 followed the classic road of a late vintage accompanying a late Easter. Deep soil moisture from a traditional winter flood bolstered us against the warm summer days, as did the cooling Langhorne Creek winds. 2014 in Langhorne Creek is heralded as offering the best Cabernet Sauvignon in over a decade.
The fruit was crushed into 8-tonne open fermenters and left on skins to cold macerate for three days prior to fermentation. The wine underwent its malolactic conversion in oak, was then racked and returned to French and American oak for a 12-month maturation. Blending was completed just prior to bottling.
The dark colour comes from the ripe and dense skins of the Cabernet grapes in the warm autumn sun. It bursts with dark fruit flavours and is framed by smooth chocolate and vanilla with hints of fresh mint. A full-bodied red wine which is both rich and easy drinking.
