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 2021 Longhop Grenache is another super value red; typically approachable it delivers plenty of lively dark cherry, raspberry and plum flavours with some dried herb and subtle spice notes. Offering impressive balance and depth, this is a delicious Grenache ready to be enjoyed now.
"93 Points. New packaging for a fine vintage in South Australia. Sort of hazelnut and sage in browned butter sort of thing, raspberry and macerated cherry. It has a savoury nutty character, cherry pip and plump red fruits, a fine and firm grain to tannin, plenty of flavour, and lots of chew and grip to a nice long finish, and also, more than a little dried rose perfume too. Wholesome and tasty, wheaty and good. It’s an excellent wine that’s choc full of character. Tasted: Mar22 14.5% alc. $25 Screwcap Drink: 2022 - 2026+"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
