2016 Heartland 'Sposa e Sposa' Dolcetto & Lagrein
Heartland
The Lagrein (55%) was matured new French oak barrels after fermentation to create a rounder, softer texture.The Dolcetto (45%) 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.
Robust, rich and ready to enjoy, the 2016 vintage offers a subtle structure and a multilayered fruit driven palate. The fascinating Lagrein shows great complexity now that the vines have some age. Look for blackberries and black spice. The Dolcetto softens the palate and offers a burst of fruit to please and entice.

55% Lagrein, 45% Dolcetto from Langhorne Creek, the Lagrein matured in new French hogsheads, the Dolcetto in stainless steel. Typical Ben Glaetzer, weaving seductive mouthfeel and flavours for the price of a tram ticket.

A blend of Lagrein and Dolcetto, with winemaker Ben Glaetzer at the helm. Has a lovely freshness to it. It’s old school and new school at once, not a bad place to be. Toast, malt, an assortment of berries and sweet spice. Refreshing acidity. Generally satisfying. Firm, dry finish. Good to drink.
