Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Dolcetto are blended together to create a bright yet full-bodied wine that is perfect for everyday occasions. Each variety is individually fermented on the skins for 5 days before it is pressed to enhance the aromatics while softening the naturally present tannins. Maturation in 2–3-year-old oak barrels rounds out the rich and savoury character of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Dolcetto and a splash of Lagrein add spiciness and vibrant tannins that complete the wine. Perfect for your Sunday night roast dinners, grilled dishes, cured meats, and aged cheeses.

A blend of Negroamaro (80%) and Malvasia Nera, picked from vines 15 to 20 years old. The wine spends between four and six months maturing in French oak prior to bottling. Close to ten years on since the grapes were picked, the wine is currently showing wonderful lavender, cherry and raspberry notes along with integrated acidity and minerality. Getting a decade-old wine that drinks this well at this price is impressive and as such it remains one of the great bargains in Italy's vast wine realm. It would pair nicely with lasagna or roast chicken.
About The Winery
Cantina Cosimo Taurino was founded in 1970 by the legendary Apulian producer, Cosimo Taurino. He was a pioneer of Negroamaro, and of the Apulian wine industry, changing its reputation of the 'not so great southern region that only produces bulk grapes for the north' to a region known for its high-quality red and rosé wines. Ever since the winery first opened, they have continued to grow and produce some of the best wines Puglia has to offer.

The Heartland story began in the late 1990’s when winemaker Ben Glaetzer (of Amon Ra fame) became excited about the outstanding quality of fruit being grown in some of South Australia’s lesser-known regions, in particular Langhorne Creek. Together with industry veterans Scott Collett, Grant Tilbrook and more recently, Nick Keukenmeester, they grew Heartland into an award-winning winery. It offers blackcurrant and berry fruits wrapped in a neat parcel of dried herbs, tomato bush and faint mintiness. A touch firmish in the mouth but the finish is long and seemingly endless.

An unbelievably good price for a California Cab! This robust red is steeped in blackberry jam, cassis and mocha-chocolate flavours. Yet, as balance in wine is everything, it also has a great acidic backbone and firm tannins. Enjoy with a slab of grilled Alberta beef. The Gnarled Vine label is produced by the Oak Ridge Winery,

Lagrein and Dolcetto are two Italian grapes that would never be blended together in Italy. When it came to the point where Australia was fighting for same-sex marriage, Heartland decided that with this untraditional blend, they would donate $1 from every bottle to help the LGBTQ community fight for equality. Since then, Australia has opened the doors for marriage and Heartland now is donating to the same-sex marriage fight in Vietnam. Not only is this wine delicious (with elegant floral, red fruit and earth notes), but you also know that your money will be helping the never-ending fight for the LGBTQ community!
