Heartland Stickleback White 2004
South Australia, AustraliaThere are a slew of reason why you might want to drink Stickleback White. It begins with its screwcap closure ― a must for any white wine in this price category. Add to that a passionate winemaker ― Ben Glaetzer who is simply not interested in making ordinary commercial plonk and finally the wine itself. Look for fresh citrus peach fruit aromas and flavours set off by a crisp clean finish with fine acidity. Both the sémillon and the chardonnay are left on their lees in tank to add depth and richness. A seriously made inexpensive white not to be missed.Tasted: 18 November 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $14.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Freehouse Wines |
