2014 Heartland Spice Trader Shiraz
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. We were spared the late February rains that harried other regions in South Australia. The Shiraz was de-stemmed, crushed and pumped over twice a day for ten days. The wine matured for 12 months in oak prior to bottling. Boasting nuances of dark fruit from sweet blueberry to savoury black olive, a punch of flavour that tapers off and leaves a lovely spicy peppery note.

You often get more flavour per dollar spent out of Langhorne Creek than you do from any other Australian wine region, in red wine terms at least. Creamy vanillin oak, some resiny notes too, meet ripe plums and tar, saltbush too. It’s pretty gutsy with flavour, especially given the asking price, and while it’s not subtle it’s not meant to be. It’s pretty good at hitting its target, you’d have to say.
