Longview Yakka Shiraz 2021

Winemaking

In The Spotlight

95 Points - James Halliday's Wine Companion 2018. "You can't help but admire the integration of sweet sawdustry French oak with black-cherried fruit and assorted spices and woody herbs. Plum flavours add yet more flesh to sink into: smoke notes abit of fantasy; velvety texture the cushion on which it's all propped. It's a wonderful red to settle in with."

94 Points - Tony Love's Top 100 Wines 2017. "Longview's estate vineyards at Macclesfield put a bit of magic into this generous and warming shiraz that exudes a completeness and balance of dark and luscious fruit with finely spiced oak. The feel and here is full bodied yet there's no sense at all of heaviness.
93 Points - Huon Hooke. "Deep, dark, saturated red/purple colour with a rich, oaky and very ripe bouquet of blood plum, fruitcake and chocolate. Pretty smart stuff. There are cherry-cola and ripe plum to blackberry flavours, backed with ample ripe tannis. Fruit-sweet core, followed by a wall of ripe, supple tannins. Very good indeed."

4 Stars Winewise -Lester Jesberg. “The Adelaide Hills region continues to show its strength with shiraz, and this one is a good example. It’s vibrant and spicy, with good fruit weight and fine tannins.”
