Tasting Notes

Syrah has an important place in the Australian wine landscape and Longview delivers medium bodied wines with spice and interest. Sourced from Blocks 2, 3 and 15, these stony blocks produce intense aromatics and flavour, with excellent fine tannins. Careful fruit selection ensures we capture fruit flavour with varietal distinction. Destemmed to open fermenters with 15- 20% whole bunch, for a short soak with fermentation for 9-12 days. A small portion of 100% whole bunch undergoes 10 days carbonic maceration, followed by destemming and finishing as a normal fermentation prior to blending, Drained & pressed to French oak puncheons (15% new) for maturation.

Critic Scores

Deep but bright colour. Combines elegance and finesse with an effortless medium-bodied portrait and equal length.

Justifiably called ‘Syrah’, given the style of it, though I’m a big one for calling a Shiraz a Shiraz. 10% new oak. Puncheons. A little whole bunch.

Red and black fruit, grilled meat and black pepper, baking spices, quite aromatic too. Medium-bodied, ripe cherry, blue fruit, lots of spice, ripe grainy tannin with a beer nut grip (you’ll maybe see what I mean), balanced and cool acidity, pulls up with some fine sooty tannin on a long finish that offers crunch, spice, and perfume. Feels quite ‘mineral’ too, which is always a plus. Very nice.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Longview is a single-estate, family-owned vineyard at Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills, owned and managed by the Saturno family. The Macclesfield Syrah is sourced from the estate's stony Blocks 2, 3 and 15, whose free-draining rocky soils naturally limit vigour and concentrate flavour, producing intense aromatics and fine tannin. Careful fruit selection is used to capture varietal definition and the cool-climate, spicy, medium-bodied style Longview aims for. The cooler 2022 Adelaide Hills vintage favoured elegance and perfume, and the resulting wine took the Shiraz Trophy and Red Wine of Show at the 2023 Adelaide Hills Wine Show.

Vinification

Fruit was destemmed to open fermenters with 15-20% whole bunches for a short cold soak, then fermented for nine to twelve days. A small portion underwent ten days of whole-bunch carbonic maceration before being destemmed and finished as a conventional ferment, adding lift and spice, prior to blending. The wine was drained and pressed to French oak puncheons, around 15% of them new, for maturation. This restrained oak and partial whole-bunch handling gives the medium-bodied, peppery, red- and black-fruited style with fine, sooty tannins and cool acidity described by reviewers.

About this Wine

Longview Vineyard

Longview Vineyards are in the Adelaide Hill, South Australia. They produce big reds, mainly shiraz.

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
