Longview Vista Shiraz Barbera

Sometimes a wine just let’s the medals do the talking. And Longview’s Vista Shiraz Barbera blend has yet again got plenty to say…

Double Gold medal (NZ Int’l Wine Show 2023)
Top Gold medal (Royal Perth Wine Show 2023)
93/100 (James Halliday’s Wine Companion)
92/100 (Ken Gargett, Winepilot.com) – “This is the best Vista I can recall…It drinks better than plenty of wines twice the price”
91/100 & Top Value Award (Huon Hooke, The Real Review) – “Very deep, bold colour with a powerful bouquet of raspberry, cassis, licorice and black pepper…a smart blend”
91/100 (Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front) – “Don’t hesitate. This is velvety, dry, rusty, meaty, floral; all those thing…Great value drinking.”

This is the follow up 2022 vintage to the highly successful 2021 which was Triple Gold and 95/100 James Halliday! This is a wine that delivers and then some!

From a cracking 2022 Adelaide Hills vintage (rated 9/10 by James Halliday) the crew at Longview describe their wine quite simply – “Blackberry. Cherry. Pepper. Bright. Juice. Savoury.” And they reckon it’s super with spag’bol!

This is a classy middleweight red blend of 73% Shiraz with 27% of the Barbera grape for its blackberry, licorice and herb characters. Think Australia meets Italy!

A small shipment of this vintage has arrived into the NZ market and we took our share – but there won’t be enough to supply demand so get in quick.
