2019 Longview The Piece Shiraz, Adelaide Hills

A most sophisticated Hills shiraz tasted months before release and already in possession of both strength and poise. A great depth of black-hearted fruit is the starting point. It then proceeds to work in layers of spice, coffee-choc oak, cinnamon, cardamon and anise. Strength is applied through a firm tannic base structure. Will age a treat.

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.
