The 2024 Longview Vista Shiraz Barbera is a vibrant and beautifully savoury Adelaide Hills red blend that brings together the spice and structure of cool-climate Shiraz with the bright acidity and juicy freshness of Barbera. Produced by Longview Vineyard — one of Australia’s leading specialists in Italian varieties — the wine is crafted in a modern, food-friendly style with minimal oak influence, allowing freshness, perfume and drinkability to take centre stage. The cool Adelaide Hills climate gives the wine excellent balance and energy while preserving vibrant fruit purity.
The nose reveals blackberry, red cherry and plum layered with white pepper, baking spice and subtle cocoa notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and juicy with silky tannins, lively acidity and a fresh core of red and dark berry fruit. Layers of raspberry, black cherry and savoury spice unfold with excellent balance and texture, finishing smooth, vibrant and beautifully food-friendly with classic cool-climate charm.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Longview Vista Shiraz Barbera is a fresh, juicy and seriously versatile red blend — vibrant, savoury and packed with personality. Perfect with pizza, pasta, charcuterie, grilled sausages or relaxed casual dining. Best served slightly cool and enjoyed young for maximum freshness and energy.
