Description

Here we have a fantastic value, versatile red from the talented people at Heartland wines.

Led by winemaker Ben Glaetzer, this single-vineyard Dolcetto showcases the outstanding quality of fruit from one of South Australia's hidden gem regions in Langhorne Creek.  The 2022 vintage benefits from a long ripening season, aided by cooling lake winds and ample winter rains, resulting in a wine with lovely fruit and wonderful structure.

Fermented at low temperatures and left on skins for several hours, this Dolcetto boasts a deep purple core with generous aromas of plums, wild forest berries, and fresh thyme. It's soft and juicy but with the variety's typically robust tannins, making it an ideal red to pair with a wide range of foods. The nine months in stainless steel, with no oak influence, has preserved its youthful freshness.

A deliciously approachable red from a producer very capable of producing some of the best value reds in South Australia.

TASTING NOTES

Heartland Dolcetto has been bottled young and fresh for immediate enjoyment. The dark purple core of fruit reverberates in aromas of forest berries and fresh thyme, and fennel. Juicy red cherries surge from the palate and are calmed by a soft finish.

VINIFICATION

The Dolcetto was left on skins for several hours prior to being fermented for 24 hours at low temperature. This ensured generous colour and abundant fruit for both the aroma and palate. No oak was used. The wine was left in stainless steel for nine months before cold stabilization and bottling.

VINTAGE

Another vintage that attracts the adjectives ‘best’ and ‘greatest’ after an already stellar 2021. Good winter rains prepared the soils for a long ripening season, made considerably cooler than our neighboring regions by the lake winds. Great for reds with loads of lovely fruit and wonderful structure.
