New release from Ben Glaetzer, the man who brought you Mitolo and Amon Ra!

"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."  Jane Macquitty, The UK Sunday Times, Dec. 2005.

"'Muscular Little Sod' - Heartland Shiraz 2004
Ben Glaetzer's entry-level Shiraz is really rocking in the 2003 vintage.  With serious fruit quality and enough mint, eucalyptus and smart oak to impress, you must find this wine.  But I can't wait for the 2004 to arrive on the shelves.  As every year goes by, Ben learns more about his vineyards and his consumers - and conducts more tastings each year than virtually any other Aussie winemaker.  This is paying off, because 2004 Heartland is very yummy indeed and his fans will lap it up."  Matthew Jukes, The Wine List 2006, Nov. 2005.

"Heartland Shiraz 2004: Value for the money. Dark berries and plums. Mouth-watering acidity makes it dance with a wide range of dishes, including meats and game. Score: 90/100."  Natalie MacLean, Nat Decants, Feb. 2006.
