Heartland Stickleback Red Blend 75cl
Fast Delivery
to the UK and Ireland
A new vintage means a new blend for Stickleback Red. Our aim as always is to satisfy that expectation of consistent quality for our friends. Expect the classic hints of herb and spice to compliment obvious black fruit characters of plum and blackcurrant. Shiraz dominates and give the richness, texture and structure. Dolcetto placates the palate with soft forward fruit and Cabernet Sauvignon offers the depth of a famous baritone.
Each individual variety was fermented on skins for 5 days before pressing. Maturation in 2 and 3-year-old oak barrels. All ferments were kept cool to enhance the aromatics and to keep the tannins soft.

2014 Vintage:
2014 followed the classic road of a late vintage
accompanying a late Easter. Deep soil moisture from a traditional Winter flood
bolstered us against the warm summer days, as did the cooling Langhorne Creek
winds. We were spared the late February rains that harried other regions in South
Australia

Refund Policy:
Very occasionally, a wine may suffer from cork taint, the unpleasant effects of a faulty closure. Cork taint is more common in bottles with a traditional cork closure, and is recognisable by a damp, rotten wood or rotten cardboard smell. It’s often quite pungent, and immediately detectable when opening a bottle for the first time. If you get a bottle you think is tainted, contact us and we’ll replace the bottle for free within 48 hours or give you a full refund – whichever you prefer.
