Heartland Stickleback Red

Stickleback Red is Heartland's answer to a wine that simply works – uncomplicated, fruity, and suitable for everyday use.

Ben Glaetzer has made a name for himself in South Australia: His Heartland wines represent varietally typical character wines from Langhorne Creek and the Limestone Coast. The Stickleback Red is the most approachable wine from this estate – not a cellar experiment, but a wine for quick, uncomplicated enjoyment.

In the glass, it displays dark berry fruit – blackberry, blackcurrant – with a hint of plum. The body is soft, the tannins round and smooth, the finish short and juicy. Not a wine for contemplation, but for drinking.

Serving suggestion: Well chilled at around 16–17 °C. Pairs well with pasta with tomato sauce, burgers, or grilled halloumi. Drink now – no need to store it.
