Heartland... 'redefining what is possible'
Oz Clarke, Oz Clarke's Australian Wine Companion Dec 2004
'An essential guide for all lovers of Australian Wine'
"Heartland Wines are a rare treat too, this time from Wirrega, in the
north (of Limestone Coast), near Bordertown (they display a furious
black power to their fruit.. Ben Glaetzer is irrepressible and is the
driving force behind the family export label, Amon-ra...and the
budget-priced Heartland label that is making superb use of Pinot Gris
and Viognier from Langhorne Creek as well as reds from Wirrega in the
Limestone Coast. The Wirrega vineyards are near Bordertown, in the
north of the region, and the wines' phenomenal intensity almost
medicinal richness and denseness of texture and heady gunpowder scent
are redefining what is possible in the Limestone Coast with Shiraz,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot."
