This exciting new addition to our range marks our first pure Dolcetto. This is a deliberate bid to make a soft, elegant and inviting wine that showcases the best aspects of Dolcetto in our unique southern setting.

Tasting Notes:

Heartland Dolcetto has been bottled young and fresh for immediate enjoyment. The dark purple core of fruit reverberates in aromas of plums, wild forest berries, almonds, and fresh sage. Juicy plums and red cherries burst from the palate, followed by a soft and refreshing finish.

Vinification:

The Dolcetto was left on skins for several hours prior to being fermented for 24 hours at low temperature. This ensured generous colour and abundant fruit for both the aroma and palate. No oak was used. The wine was left in stainless steel for nine months before cold stabilization and bottling.

2022 Vintage:

Good winter rains prepared the soils for a long ripening season, made considerably cooler than than our neighbouring regions by the lake winds.  Great for reds with loads of lovely fruit and wonderful structure.
