Dolcetto Lagrein - a crafted beauty

2004 Heartland Dolcetto Lagrein Langhorne Creek, South Australia

Is this the first time anyone in the world has blended these two red grapes together? It’s certainly a first for winemaker Ben Glaetzer, who has taken Dolcetto (originally from Piedmont in north-west Italy) and Lagrein (from Italy’s north-east) and crafted a bold, bouncy black-fruited beauty.
