Yakka is named after the hardy Xanthorrhoea flowering plant which is ubiquitous in Australia and found around Longview's perimeter.
Matured for 15 months in old and new French barriques, the wine displays vibrant blue fruits, spice, flavours of dark chocolate and coffee. This elegant, cool-climate shiraz is medium bodied, and finishes with a delicious vanillin length and velvety texture. Like the Yakka, it is dramatic and structured and will thrive in most occasions. Yakka is as complex as the plant we’ve named it after and, whilst excellent to drink now, it will also benefit with 10+ years cellaring.
Deepish red colour with a tinge of purple, bright and translucent. The aromas are spicy and red-fruited, attractively-scented and accessible, the palate medium to full-bodied and nicely modulated. There's a lot of drink-now charm to this very accessible wine. Deliciously elegant, and drinks so well already. 30 APR 2021
