Cabernet Sauvignon needs constant attention on our vineyard. Yes, we have a near-perfect site for the vines; ample sun to ripen tannin and cool nights to retain natural acidity. However, being in a cool climate, ensuring they get enough sun (but not so much that the wine is jammy) and enough shade (but not enough for the wine to be green), is a delicate balancing act. In 2019, mother nature threw a lot at us and the results were extremely low-yields (3-tonne/Ha) but phenomenal flavours. Cabernet for the Macclesfield wine was the first fruit to be picked, to harness the brightness and squeaky-clean fruit flavours we were tasting. Hand-picked fruit is delivered to the winery after chilling overnight. It is crushed and de-stemmed into open fermenters, where pump overs occur throughout the day. Following primary fermentation, the Cabernet sees up to 10 days further on skins, then pressed, settled, and racked into old French oak puncheons to undergo malolactic fermentation. It then ages in barrel for a further 15 months.

About Longview Wines

Longview is a stunning family owned Australian vineyard located just outside the historic township of Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills. Set on undulating slopes reminiscent of old-world estates but unmistakably Australian, it has quickly established itself as one of the most awarded vineyards since its 2001 inaugural vintage.

Sharing the family passion
Family owned and operated together with a small but specialised team of passionate vineyard, events, administration and food and beverage professionals.

Passionate about their heritage, the Saturno family has infused Longview with an Italian accent. Tipping their hat to the family’s matriarch, Tarquinia “Queenie” Saturno, they produce meticulous examples of traditional Northern Italian wines and focus their food around all regions of their spiritual homeland.

Embracing the rituals of making tomato pasta sauce, curing meats and pickling vegetables, the Saturno’s are passionate about sharing their history with their customers.
