SKU: LONTHPIESHZ20
We only pick 5 tonnes of shiraz for The Piece. Fruit from our best shiraz blocks (Block 15 and Block 3) is picked and kept in separate in 2.5-ton open fermenters with approximately 15% whole bunches. It is then gently pressed and again, categorised by block when placed in old French oak 500 litre puncheons for around 18 months. Upon blending the 2020 vintage, we chose only seven barrels based on structure, flavour and finesse. Always a limited bottling, Longview produced a mere 4,700 bottles of this wine.

Grape Variety

Shiraz

Region

Adelaide Hills

Size

750ml

Wine Style

Red - big, bold, full-bodied

Palate

The palate is succulent, yet structured with a drive of ripe cherry flesh, tart red currants, mulberries, and Longview’s hallmark natural acidity. These flavours are knitted together by dusty tannins, delivering a clean, dry finish with tremendous length. Cellar for 15 years or more and carefully decant at least 30 minutes prior to opening.

Vintage

2020

Food Pairing

Slow cooked beef cheek

”This is exceptional. Head and shoulders above the other reds in the quiver. As it is designed, at least from the perspective of intensity, complexity and polished tannins, the latter a confluence of classy oak and massaged grape skins. A nourishing nose of umami-doused beef broth and spiced salumi. Thereafter, Iodine, a sachet of Indian spices, a smear of tapenade, lapsang souchong and star anise, dried and fragrant. Warm-climate tones with cool-climate quakes.”
