Heartland Illicium Cabernet Shiraz 2016 (12 x 750mL) Langhorne Creek, SA

Description:

The Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the same vines as our classic Spice Trader range. The Shiraz is from a highly prized single vineyard, usually reserved for our most premium reds. The generosity of the 2016 vintage allowed us to play around with the extra. The varieties are fermented separately. Twelve months in barrel offers a better-balanced structure.

Ben reckons this might be the finest vintage he has ever seen from Langhorne Creek. Only time will tell. Harvest was more generous than the previous few years, with above average quantity and quality. Total degree days were up from the last three years, with wonderful ripeness levels recorded leading to amazing fruit intensity. This may supersede the 2012 vintage for overall quality and has led to a very happy winemaker.
