Reviews
94 POINTS - WINE ORBIT || Gorgeously styled and expressed, the wine shows blackcurrant, subtle tobacco, warm spice and cedary oak aromas on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate delivering terrific fruit power combined with refined texture and chalky tannins. Robust and sturdy with classic varietal flavours, finishing wonderfully long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2035

Tasting Notes
The 2019 vintage of Hear & Soil Cabernet Sauvignon showcases Langhorne Creek’s spice infused grandeur. The old vines are guided by Ben Glaetzer and matured in the finest oak. Evolving fruit builds in the glass with each minute it spends there. This is complemented by black spice, fresh herbs and offset with taut tannins and a bright structure. This vintage will gain complexity and flavour with every year in bottle.
Vinification
Only the finest Cabernet vineyards in Langhorne Creek contribute to our Heart & Soil Reserve wine. The old vine fruit is the cornerstone of this wine’s character. The fruit was harvested at night to retain freshness. Initial skin contact was followed by 7 days of cool fermentation with our Rhône isolate yeast and hand-plunging three times daily. Maturation then occurred in 75% new French oak hogsheads for approximately 12 months.
Vintage
Except for the January 24 heat spike that affected every growing region, Langhorne Creek stayed reasonably cool with average temperatures nearly 10 degrees below Barossa and McLaren Vale. Despite all the usual fears it was a trouble-free and high-quality harvest. This why the quality and consistency of Langhorne Creek is gaining acknowledgement around the world
