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 2022 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.
"92 Points. Sitting on the sweeter scale of fruit, though not jammy conserves, just plush with a breadth of ripeness to its red and black plum, blackberry and vanilla offerings. Raspberry licorice, some violet lift, with nicely integrated tannins generating structure and frame. Tasted: Jan25. 14.3% alc. Drink: 2025 - 2030"- Katrina Butler, Halliday Wine Companion
