One of the greatest things about the Great Western wine region is its ability to successfully grow a broad range of grape varieties. Shiraz may be the regional hero, but Cabernet Sauvignon from the area can lay almost equal claim. Best’s Great Western 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a fine example of the Great Western Regional style; supple tannins with dark cherry, cassis, confection and cinnamon spice. With small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this vintage Cabernet is a delight to drink now, but will certainly gain more complexity over the years.

Winery Tasting Note (2019 Vintage)
Nose: Typical aromas of cassis and blackcurrant are intertwined with woody notes of thyme, nutmeg and fresh tobacco leaf.
Palate: Rich briary fruit flavours flow with the fine geometry of supple tannins and balancing acidity to give a long finish.
James Suckling Tasting Note (2019 Vintage)
93 Points - "Aromas of red currents, blueberries, violets, and cedar sit fresh and lively with some lighter herbal threads. Fine and supple tannins deliver attractively fleshy blueberry and plum flavours. Impressive balance. Drink or hold."

The Heartland story began in the late 1990s when winemaker Ben Glaetzer became excited about the outstanding quality of fruit being grown in some of South Australia’s lesser-known regions, in particular Langhorne Creek.
Together with industry veterans Scott Collett, Grant Tilbroo, and more recently Nick Keukenmeester, they grew Heartland into an award-winning winery. Ben Glaetzer makes Heartland Wines at Barossa Vintners in Tanunda, South Australia, some 100 kilometres from Langhorne Creek. The winery was conceived as a state-of-the-art winemaking facility with the capacity to make wines for a core group of top-end producers whose fame and demand had grown beyond their winemaking capacities. Completed in 1995, Barossa Vintners was developed to make wines in the most natural possible way. The natural slope of the land allows the winery to be gravity fed and avoid a harsh pumping of the grapes juice (Ben also makes his range of Glaetzer wines at this facility, most famously his Amon-ra Shiraz). The growing conditions in Langhorne Creek are predominantly shaped by the onshore southerly winds blowing directly from the Southern Ocean across Lake Alexandrina. The prevailing southerlies reduce daytime temperature fluctuations, making it one of the cooler growing regions in South Australia

In 2013, husband and wife team Chris and Andrea Mullineux (they own the Mullineux winery in Swartland that they founded in 2007) partnered with Analjit Singh (BAS) and started the Leeu Passant winery on Analjit’s stunning Leeu Estates in Franschhoek. Leeu Passant is focused on expressing the South African landscape and climate as well as celebrating South African winemaking and viticultural heritage by working with some of the Cape’s oldest and most exciting vineyards.
The Mullineuxs set out with a shared vision to create fine wines that reflect the distinct terroir of the area while embracing reasoned, sustainable farming practices and modern minimalist winemaking. This stellar South African Cabernet Sauvignon is harvested from three vineyards in some of the cooler parts of the Stellenbosch region. The wine naturally ferments and is aged for 20 months in 500-litre French oak casks (30% new) before bottling. If you're looking for a substitute for a really good bottle of Napa cab, this fits the bill.
