Heartland Directors' Cut Shiraz 2021 Shiraz, Langhorne Creek
Deep purple, almost indigo. Blackberry jam, ripe plum and blueberry open the aromas, guided by fennel, nettle and a faint white truffle note, with dark chocolate and subtle vanilla from oak.
Full-bodied and generously fruited. Soft yet structured on the palate, with juicy blackberry and ripe persimmon flowing across fine, supportive tannins. Spice and chocolate build through the mid-palate while a core of freshness from the lake breezes keeps the wine energetic. The oak is well integrated, allowing the fruit to remain the focus. The finish is long with dark fruits, spice and savoury notes. A rich, layered Langhorne Creek Shiraz with concentrated dark fruit, fine tannins and impressive length.
Vino Masters Score: 96/100 ★★★★★ A flagship expression of Australian Shiraz made by Ben Glaetzer.
