Heartland Directors’ Cut Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

"Ripe Cabernet aromas from the outset. A full-bodied and chocolate-rich palate, fleshy and grapey as well. There’s a blueberry and licorice pop to the mid palate as the wine opens with a little time in a decanter. Will gather more interest in its expression over the next 5 years." - 94 points. Tony Love, Halliday Wine Companion 2022

"Heartland Directors’ Cut Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines aged 70+ years, grown on sandy loam soils in cool-climate Langhorne Creek. The old-vine fruit is the cornerstone of this wine’s character. The fruit was harvested at night to retain freshness. Initial skin contact was followed by seven days of cool fermentation with our Rhône isolate yeast and hand-plunging three times daily. Maturation then occurred in new oak hogsheads (both French and American) for approximately 14 months." – Ben Glaetzer, Heartland
