The 2023 Longview LV Shiraz Cabernet is a vibrant and beautifully balanced Adelaide Hills red blend that combines the richness of Shiraz with the structure and savoury depth of Cabernet Sauvignon. Produced entirely from estate-grown fruit at Longview Vineyard in Macclesfield, the wine reflects the cooler Adelaide Hills climate, delivering a fresher and more elegant take on this classic Australian blend. Crafted in a smooth, approachable style with integrated oak and bright fruit purity, it offers excellent value and immediate drinkability.
The nose reveals blueberry, blackberry and dark plum layered with baking spice, dark chocolate and subtle cedar oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, juicy dark berry fruit and balanced acidity that keeps the wine fresh and energetic. Layers of cassis, mocha and gentle savoury spice unfold with smooth texture and polish, finishing long, supple and quietly structured with classic cool-climate charm.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Longview LV Shiraz Cabernet is a polished and crowd-pleasing Adelaide Hills red — rich enough to satisfy while remaining fresh, smooth and highly versatile. Perfect with grilled sausages, lamb chops, burgers, pizza, pasta or casual barbecue dining. Enjoy now and over the next 5–7 years.
