Longhop Shiraz 2011
The Longhop range of wines are produced by Domenic Torzi and Tim Freeland. The former school mates first mooted the idea of making icon wines from the Adelaide Plains in 2002. Torzi and Freeland first priority was to secure old vines vineyards something they were able to do by convincing a small band of growers about their vision. These growers embraced this by delivering Torzi and Freeland premium grapes in order to showcase the power and rich fruit flavours of the Adelaide Plains.

"Into its sixth vintage, fruit sourced from Gawler River vineyards grown in rich alluvial river loam, Angle Vale region provides the old vine component sited in the famous red clay over broken limestone while Bibaringa at an altitude of 300 metres has vineyards clinging to thin windswept soils perched on quartz outcrops. Whole berry open ferment, hand plunged, basket pressed, 14 months in French and American hogsheads, bottled unfiltered, what a beauty!" - Longhop Wines.
