Longhop is a robust style in every sense, distinctive, vinous, full bodied and complex. Shiraz is sourced off a selection of vineyards across the Adelaide Plains and Mt Lofty Ranges, much of the harvest off vines fifty years of age, each bringing its own expression of mesoclime and personality to the finished wine. Components are treated to a partially wild yeast, whole berry ferment in small open top vessels with soft pump overs and minimal plunging, before being treated to an old fashioned basket press and completing ferments in barrel. The finished wine is matured eighteen months in a selection of seasoned French and American oak barriques and hogsheads before an unfiltered bottling. Alcohol 14.5%
