Heartland WinesSposa e Sposa 2021
Dry, Light Bodied style of Lagrein & Dolectto
About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Lagrein & DolecttoHeartland Sposa e Sposa celebrates the successful marriage of Italian grapes, Dolcetto and Lagrein, two northern Italian grape varieties that are ideally suited to Langhorne Creek climate.
Why Sposa e Sposa?
Sposa e Sposa" translates from Italian to English as "Bride & Bride". With the launch of Sposa e Sposa, Heartland supported marriage equality in Australia with $1 from each bottle sold domestically going to the Australian Marriage Equality group and The Equality Campaign, both backers of same-sex marriage.
Tasting Note:
A core of intense cherry red recedes to a bright crimson rim in the glass. Aromas of summer rose garden completement the foundation of plums, blueberry and blueberry.
The pleasantly savoury palate is made up of blueberry and blackberry with a hint of wild liquorice on the finish. The mouthfeel is soft and forward, with a long finish. This can be enjoyed at cellar temperature in the cooler months or chilled down for summer drinking.
Vinification:
The Lagrein was matured in 3+ year old French oak barrels after fermentation to soften the tannin structure and round out the wine texture.
The Dolcetto was cool fermented on skins for seven days before being crushed and matured in stainless steel to preserve the fresh, floral notes of the variety.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
