Spice Trader - Heartland Wines

The barrel-aged Spice Trader from the South Australia winegrowing region appears in the glass in dense purple. Ideally poured into a Bordeaux glass, this red wine from Australia offers wonderfully expressive aromas of mulberry, blueberry, blackberry and black currant, rounded off by oriental spices, cinnamon and bitter chocolate, which the aging in wooden barrels contributes.

This dry red wine from Heartland Wines is just right for wine drinkers who would ideally have 0.0 grams of sugar in their wine. The Spice Trader comes quite close to this, as it was pressed with just 0.6 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully dense. Due to its vital fruit acid, the Spice Trader is fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this red wine finally inspires with good length. Again, hints of blackberry and black currant show.
