The graffiti pieces that adorn the label are only the very beginning of the story. Longview has created limited, collectible art on the bottle and what's inside is equally so.
Every vintage, Longview Winemakers take great care to isolate select rows of the best Shiraz fruit, then go a step further by hand-picking only perfect bunches based on flavour. The yields are small but the rewards are plentiful resulting in only 200 dozen of the best Shiraz we could make.
An elegant and complex wine which displays aromas of baking spices, maraschino cherry, anise and coffee coupled with restrained pencil shavings of French oak. The structured palate displays flavours of cherry, red currant, mulberries and fresh acidity. Dusty tannins complement the finish which is dry and clean with tremendous length.Cellar for 15 years or more, with careful decanting when opening.
Deep red colour with a tint of purple, and a brightly spicy, red-fruited aroma which is full of charm and aromatic appeal. Very good intensity and drive through the palate, great tension and persistence, refinement and vitality that carries right through to the last. Sweet fruit core followed by a firm, authoritative finish. A gorgeous wine.
