{"title":"Heartland Wines","description":"Heartland Winery is located near Lake Alexandria, where a cool breeze blows in every day around 4 pm, lowering the temperature in the vineyards by about 10°C for two hours. This extends the ripening period of the grapes and also imparts a special complexity and elegance. It\u0026#39;s no wonder, then, that Robert M. Parker writes of Heartland wines: \u0026quot;Some of the most distinctive and complex wines in Australia. Ben Glaetzer admirably combines the enormous fruit and power of old vines with a surprising degree of elegance and depth.\u0026quot; \u0026quot;Heartland is that place among the wine with the best view of the rubber trees.
