Yakka, Shiraz

History

Longview is a stunning family owned Australian vineyard located just outside the historic township of Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills. Set on undulating slopes reminiscent of old-world estates but unmistakably Australian, it has quickly established itself as one of the most awarded vineyards since its 2001 inaugural vintage.

Sourced from 5 distinct blocks on our estate, all of which are north facing, Yakka shiraz fruit is picked based on a flavour profile of blue fruit and spice with up-front tannin in the berry.

Sweet plums and chocolate to sniff

Palate

The palate is lean and tensioned, linear rather than rich, with medium persistence, tapering to a tight finish. An elegant and worthy style.
