Reviews
92 POINTS | The Cabernets from the slightly cooler Langhorne Creek region provide some of the best wines for early consumption. This is soft and supple with a firm spine to carry and support. With dark chocolate, a little mint and a blackcurrant richness, it’s a mighty good value red wine.
-Ray Jordan - Winepilot
92 POINTS | Crafted from the region’s most noted red variety, aromas of crimson and purple berries rather than darker, blacker, denser fruit offer a vibrant start that’s enhanced with harmonic cooler mint and dusted cut ivy sensibilities. The juiciness that follows gathers all those attractive aromatic elements into a cleverly weighted palate, neatly feathered with light tannins – just right for this everyday Cabernet. You can’t ask for more than that.
-Tony Love - Winepilot
92 POINTS | This is splendidly fruited and inviting on the nose with blackcurrant, floral, thyme and roasted hazelnut characters. The palate displays excellent weight and persistency, well supported by fine texture and polished tannins, leading to a lengthy harmonious finish.. At its best: now to 2030. $22.00. www.heartlandwines.com.au.

Tasting Notes
Enjoy a 12 bottle pack of Cabernet Sauvignon from Heartland at an incredible price. You won't be disappointed.
Our Cabernet begins by inviting you in with its deep ruby colour. Aromas of freshly crushed berries stand out, supported by cinnamon and fennel.
An ample palate of bright fruit is complimented by solid tannins with a fine, long finish.
Vinification
The fruit was crushed into 8 tonne open fermenters and left on skins to cold macerate for three days prior to fermentation. Fermentation occurred at or under 23°C with our Rhône isolate yeast. This helped to extract the skin tannin while maintaining aromatics. The wine underwent its malolactic transformation in oak, was then racked and returned to French and American oak for a 12-month maturation.
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.
