Heartland is that place between the vines with the best view of the gum trees.

The best grapes from the finest vineyards in Langhorne Creek are recruited to create Heartland One. The vineyards are also notably affected by the The “Lake Doctor” phenomenon, a cool ocean breeze that comes across the nearby and substantial Lake Alexandrina every afternoon and moderates temperatures, bringing them down 30-40 degrees. The overall heat that vineyards see, as a result, in some years is more equivalent to a cool climate region li...
