Longview Macclesfield Syrah 2022

The fruit for Longview’s Macclesfield Syrah, is sourced from 3 high-altitude blocks (SH 15, SH13E, SH2S) on a single vineyard. These low-yielding vines are now 25 years old and produce wines of breathtaking elegance and complexity. Fruit is selected solely on flavour and selection comes down to a matter of rows and even panels for the syrah. Careful bunch and berry sorting during hand-picking ensures pristine fruit and once roughly 3 tonnes has been harvested, the fruit goes into open fermenters with 25% whole bunch, to cold soak for up to 10 days. After 8 months in barrel, the wine goes to bottle unfiltered.
