The fruit is ripe, the winemaking is right on point, the desired end result of a big, luscious gluggable red that won't bust the bank well and truly realised.

Technical:

Whole berry ferment in five ton open top fermenters with soft pump overs and minimal hand plunging. On skins for six days, then basket pressed into young seasoned oak with ferment finishing off in barrel. Matured in French and American oak. Two rackings prior to blending and bottling.

Accolades & Awards:

Great Australian Shiraz Challenge - Nov 2018

The 24th Great Australian Shiraz Challenge edition received 480 entries. Longhop Shiraz was one of only 31 Gold medals awarded. Scoring 18.5 points narrowly missing the trophy which scored 18.7. The average rrp of all entries was $45.00. With Longhop Shiraz rrp at $20.00 it surely is one of Australia’s most underrated wines.


92 Points Gary Walsh, Winefront

Plum, brown spices, raspberry conserve, new leather and sage. It's supple, juicy, but offers some toasty/saline/meaty flavour too, along with grainy tannin, and a spicy savoury finish. Oak is pretty low key. Drinkability is high. Here's a rock solid example of South Australian Shiraz at a very fair price. It feels 'authentic'. In short, it's bloody good.


92 Points Andrew Graham, Oz Wine Review

From old vines in the Mt Lofty Ranges also planted in the 1950s. Partial whole bunch and basket pressed. While the Grenache is red fruited with firm

sandy tannins, this goes more purple fruit, a little spice and more plushness. It's saturated with plum and blueberries with a finish punctuated by sweet alcohol warmth, the style again concentrated and long. Lots of mouthfilling fruit here and again just $20.
