Longhop is the impressive partnership of Domenic Torzi and Tim Freeland; designed to showcase what the Adelaide Plains and adjoining Mt Lofty Ranges regions does best. Sourcing precious old vine "survival plantings" of the 1950's coupled with a non-interventional approach to winemaking, the wines of Longhop are always generously flavoured and packed with personality.
This 2020 Longhop Shiraz is another cracking release, delivering a full bodied red wine with plenty of chocolate, dark plum, leather, mulberry and spice. A wine that will offer plenty of drinking pleasure over the next few years, this is a bargain red at this discounted price.
"This is the pick of the current Longhop crop of reds, well, this and that excellent 2020 Barossa Merlot. Blackberry, dark chocolate, liquorice, toast and spice. Full-bodied, full of dark fruit and dark chocolate, but also, imagine, some black pepper! Tannin is firm and grainy, it’s warm and generous, but keeps itself tidy all up, and has a fleshy finish of good length. Hearty and full of character. Rated: 91 Points Tasted: Nov21 14.5% alc. $20 Screwcap Drink: 2021 - 2025"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
