93 / 100"If you’re looking for a traditional South Australian Shiraz that’s outstanding value, then it’s not such a Longhop, to the shop, if you want to rock and roll. Rich dark raspberry, blackberry, chocolate and subtle perfume of vanilla and coconut. It’s a flood of blackcurrant flavour, with some savoury truffle notes, supple tannin, balanced acidity, depth of flavour but not heavy or overdone. Finish is long and satisfying. For living in the now, this wine is hitting all the right notes."

Tasting Notes
Matured for 18 months in seasoned french and American oak.
The nose is rich and lifted with dense chocolate and refreshing lift. Dense and powerful with an alluring quality. On the palate, this is a rich, succulent wine with a lovely array of juicy fruit and chocolate. Fasntastic balance of fine plush tanins & refreshing, cleansing acid structure. A truly delicious wine!
