Description: A fine wine with a focus on the fruit this is a light gold coloured 100% Chardonnay. Displaying tropical fruit aromas it is full bodied with a creamy character and length on the finish.

Founder and former racing car driver turned wine producer, Alan Heath, purchased from his retiring next door neighbour a 100 year old dairy farm in the premium wine growing region the 'Adelaide Hills' in South Australia.

Paying great attention to soil type, climate, row sizes, ripping, water quality, varieties and cloning attracted the immediate attention of Penfolds who contracted the fruit from his premium vineyard for a number of years. The purchase of the Vineyard was the start of a journey that culminated with the formation of Heath Wines in 1998.

Alan's days as a grower taught him some valuable lessons. Sourcing of fruit is driven by the 'best sub-region for each varietal' and the 'best vineyard for each sub-region.'

As a result of this Alans philosophy is simple 'We are committed to and focus on producing handcrafted wines with fruit driven varietal flavours, structure and balance.'

Turkey Flat Vineyards TURKEY FLAT Cabernet Sauvignon Barossa Valley South Australia
This wine is made from fruit grown on the historic 150 year old Turkey Flat vineyard. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines are planted on the river flat near the cellar door where they thrive on deep soils without the need for irrigation. Cabernet Sauvignon vines produce fruit of exceptional richness and concentration when grown in sites such as this. What sets Cabernet Sauvignon apart is its ability to travel, to set down its roots in distant lands and still produce something that is recognisably Cabernet, whatever the circumstances and conditions. Whilst the Barossa Valley has largely earned its reputation for making 'big' reds with the Shiraz grape variety, this wine is certainly proof that the Barossa can produce Cabernet with power and concentration. This is a wine of intensity, elegance and long term ageing potential, displaying classic Cabernet aromatics of red and black currants, a touch of olive, blueberries, cedar, spice and subtle tobacco notes. Perfectly focused and balanced; very good tannin and oak management. Whilst full bodied and intense, this wine has a fine even structure and slick ripe tannins from extended maceration on skins. Complex fruit flavours of ripe red and black berry fruits, bay leaf and bracken are under lain by subtle oak, derived cake spice, caf© au lait and cedar notes. (6 x 75 cl)
