Description

The 2020 Heartland Dolcetto is a vibrant Langhorne Creek red crafted by Ben Glaetzer from a single vineyard planted on sandy loam over limestone. The nose shows ripe plum and wild forest berries with red cherry, almond and fresh sage, giving this Italian variety a distinctly bright Australian expression.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied and juicy, with plum and red cherry supported by soft tannins and refreshing acidity. The wine spent nine months in stainless steel with no oak maturation, preserving its fresh fruit and aromatic character. The finish is smooth, lively and gently savoury.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy fresh, fruit-driven reds with soft tannins and minimal oak influence. Best enjoyed now, and pair with tomato-based pasta, pizza, grilled pork, antipasto or chargrilled vegetables.

About the region

South Australia · Langhorne Creek

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
