Longview of the Adelaide Hills has long been considered one of the region's leading wineries, consistently delivering exceptional examples of the region's hero varietals. Longview's 'Vista' Shiraz Barbera takes the best of Australia and Italy and blends them together to create a delicious, food-friendly modern red blend.
An approachable red wine, the 2023 Longview Vista Shiraz Barbera shows how well these varietals work together when done well. The Shiraz provides flavoursome berry fruit, savouriness and subtle spice, while the Barbera deliver juicy cherry brightness, lively acid and a wonderful slender structure. A red bursting with flavour and wide appeal, it's a bargain at the price.
"A delightful, medium-weight red of crunchy texture, red cherry, raspberry, white pepper, green herbal detail and some light smoky spice elements. Feels very fresh and easy to drink, the tartness of fruit a pronounced character here, but fits for barbera's inclusion. Good fun, is the message. 91 Points. 13.5% alc. Screwcap. $25. Drink: 2024 - 2029"- Mike Bennie, winecompanion.com.au.
