Stickleback Red 2017 - Heartland Wines

The bright red colour of Heartland Wines' Stickleback Red is reminiscent of a sparkling ruby. It opens the nose with floral notes, which are completed by black fruit aromas such as blackcurrants and plums.

On the palate the Stickleback inspires with its excellent balance of the grape variety classics of Australia. Cabernet and Shiraz give it fullness, texture and structure, while Dolcetto, a classic acquaintance from northern Italy, provides the floral complexity, the pert fruit and a lot of liveliness.
