HEARTLAND WINES. THE TOP WINES OF THE RISING STAR.

Heartland Wines is a joint venture of seven young people who teamed up in 2001 to turn their passion for good wines into a shared enterprise. The name of their newly founded winery, Heartland, already expresses how much the project means to them.

At the helm of the dedicated team as Chief Winemaker is none other than Ben Glaetzer, scion of the famous Glaetzer winemaking family. The self-confident and determined wine-o-holic has managed to win over not only the national trade press but also wine guru Robert M. Parker.

Parker describes: Ben Glaetzer admirably combines the enormous fruit and power of old vines with a surprising degree of elegance and complexity.

Langhorne Creek is Australia's oldest cool-climate region and much cooler than neighboring regions McLaren Vale and Barossa – for a very simple reason: It lies in an old flood plain on the northern shore of Lake Alexandrina. As such, it is very flat and, unlike the regions on the other side of the Mount Lofty Ranges, exposed to the prevailing winds for better or worse.

The wind comes from the southern ocean in the early evening and cools the entire region by about 10°C within an hour. This in turn creates cool nights and thus ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon.

Because the wind has such a profound effect on local viticulture, it is affectionately called the Lake Doctor by winegrowers. Incidentally, the oldest registered Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the world grow here. This is due to the fortunate circumstance that there has never been a phylloxera infestation here.
