Heartland Shiraz 2004: HYATT/Advertiser Awards Outright Winner!
"When wine professionals and willing amateurs sat down to taste our state’s best wine at the 2005 Advertiser/Hyatt S.A. Wine of the Year awards, one shiraz reigned supreme.." -- Philip White.
..to the Heartland >
“..Overwhelmingly, Ben Glaetzer’s magnificent Heartland Langhorne Creek Limestone Coast Shiraz 2004 romped in….watch this wine sell”.
The ‘Professional’ judges included: John Duval, Stephen Henschke, Tim James (Wirra Wirra), Louisa Rose (Yalumba), Andrew Wigan, and (Peter Lehman). |
Heartland was created by a small group of leading South Australian wine industry identities including winemaker Ben Glaetzer, fifth generation viticulturist Geoff Hardy, winemaker Scott Collett, vineyard manager John Pargeter and wine industry professional Grant Tilbrook.
Few labels will match the pedigree of this dynamic group that is attracting attention for its well-made, distinctively Australian wines. Chief winemaker Ben Glaetzer has been nominated along with father Colin for the prestigious 2004 QANTAS Australian Gourmet Traveller WINE magazine Winemaker of the Year award. It was a natural progression for these good friends to pool their resources and expertise to establish their own label. All Heartland wines are made with fruit from the directors’ own, mature vineyards at Limestone Coast (23km north of Padthaway) and Langhorne Creek (east of Adelaide, on the Fleurieu Peninsula – one of Australia’s oldest wine regions).
