Heartland ONE Langhorne Creek Cabernet Shiraz 2016

Enjoy a delicious classic Cabernet Shiraz blend – with two 95pt scores – from Aussie wine legend, Ben Glaetzer, who fell for the region of Langhorne Creek a few years ago. To explain the name, Ben quotes Pete Townsend: “In life one and one don't make two. One and one make One” (Bargain, Pete Townsend) "Described by Ben as “the apex” of his Langhorne Creek wines. Blend of 69% cabernet sauvignon and 31% shiraz. Intense aromas of blackberries, fruit cake, dark chocolate and mint open the door to a luxurious palate of concentrated dark fruit, with hints of leather, cedar, vanilla and spice. A complete drinking experience." (John Lehmann, The Australian). "Good vintage, classy wine. A compelling combination." 95pts (Ray Jordan). Barossa Valley legend Ben Glaetzer grew up in wine, his father Colin was winemaker at Seppelt, and his uncle is John Glaetzer, head winemaker at Wolf Blass for over 30 years. After graduating from Adelaide University’s Roseworthy campus, and a spell at Tyrrell’s, Ben went on to win a number of honours and titles as winemaker of Glaetzer wines. The Heartland story began in the late 1990’s when Ben became excited about the outstanding quality of fruit being grown in some of South Australia’s lesser-known regions, in particular Langhorne Creek, where he explored thoroughly along with some winemaking friends. Today Heartland sources all of its fruit exclusively from Langhorne Creek and makes mainly red wines. Ben makes them 100km away at his state of the art Barossa Vintners winery in Tanunda.
