Star Red: 2004 Heartland Shiraz

Top 100 Festive Wines - Star Red
Heartland Shiraz 2004, Langhorne Creek & Limestone Coast

Ben Glaetzer is one of Australia's top young winemakers, and what separates this delicious, chunky, 14.5 per cent alcohol shiraz from its competitors is the magnificent grapes that went into it, from two prime South Australia spots.  Expect lots of creamy, seductive, fat briary spice from this one that is tailor-made for big game.
