HEARTLAND WINES. THE TOP WINES OF THE SHOOTING STAR.

Heartland Wines is a joint venture of seven young people who teamed up in 2001 to turn their love for good wines into a common enterprise. How much the project means to them is already expressed in the name of their newly founded winery: Heartland.

At the helm of the dedicated team as Chief Winemaker is none other than Ben Glaetzer, scion of the famous Glaetzer winemaking family. This wine-o-holic, brimming with self-confidence and determination, has not only managed to win over the national trade press but also to attract the attention of 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 the neighboring regions of McLaren Vale and Barossa – for a very simple reason: it is located 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 Range, is 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 Lake Doctor by the 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.
