Longview’s Vista Shiraz Barbera is a great marriage of Australia and Italy. Shiraz (73%) is distinct, spicy and savoury with crunchy berry fruit from our cool climate whilst the Barbera (27%) adds a juicy, cherry-like brightness and taut acid backbone that gives the wine a wonderful structure. Extremely drinkable in its youth, but will develop nicely over 5 years. Select portions are de-stemmed together for co-fermentation for 10-14 days before further blending prior to bottling. Maturation in French and Austrian Oak Puncheons (10% new) for 12 months and bottled early to capture freshness.
