Dark, polished, and built for richer food and short- to mid-term ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Directors’ Cut Cabernet Sauvignon is the pinnacle of Heartland’s craft, a wine that embodies the depth, power, and elegance for which Langhorne Creek is renowned. One of South Australia’s oldest wine regions, Langhorne Creek benefits from ancient alluvial soils and the cooling influence of the “Lake Doctor” breezes from Lake Alexandrina. These natural conditions allow Cabernet Sauvignon to thrive, producing wines with concentrated fruit, fresh acidity, and remarkable structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine opens with lifted aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, layered with mint, bay leaf, cedar, and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, revealing concentrated dark fruits balanced by savoury notes of mocha, licorice, and herbs. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity provide structure, ensuring both immediate appeal and long-term ageing potential. The finish is long and persistent, echoing with fruit, spice, and earthy complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Heartland Directors’ Cut Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is not only a benchmark for the estate but also a shining example of Langhorne Creek Cabernet at its finest. Bold yet refined, it captures the essence of the region’s terroir while reflecting Heartland’s dedication to producing wines of integrity and distinction. Built to be enjoyed now or cellared for over a decade, it is a wine that rewards patience and honours tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crushed Grape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57376084459855,"sku":null,"price":23.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/2550\/0239\/files\/Heartland_Director_s_Cut_Cabernet_Sauvignon.jpg?v=1777548761","url":"https:\/\/crushedgrape.co.uk\/products\/heartland-directors-cut-cabernet-sauvignon-2020","provider":"The Crushed Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
