LONGVIEW HENS TEETH SHIRAZ 2023

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 vintage delivered a beautifully long, even ripening season in the Adelaide Hills, with a cooler Spring contributing to steady vine development and excellent canopy growth. Mild summer temperatures allowed for gradual flavour accumulation and impressive acid retention, ideal for both Shiraz and Barbera. Spicy aromatics, acidity and bright red berry fruits and finesse are the hallmarks of the vintage.

Now with the benefit of extended cellaring, the 2023 Hen’s Teeth Shiraz has gracefully evolved into a beautifully integrated and expressive wine. Originally released to critical acclaim, this release showcases the ageing potential of Adelaide Hills Shiraz, particularly from Longview’s Macclesfield vineyards. A refined and contemplative expression of cool-climate Shiraz, this wine is drinking beautifully now but still has years of life ahead. A perfect companion to slow-cooked lamb, wild mushroom risotto, or simply enjoyed on its own to appreciate its layered evolution.

Black Berries. Pink Peppercorn. Spicy. Juicy. Luscious. Perfect pairing—Beef Ragu with Pappardelle."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"This is gorgeously fruited with complexity, presenting dark plum, raspberry, smoked game, baking spice, and toasted almond notes on the nose. It's equally satisfying in the mouth with succulent fruit intensity and fleshy texture, wonderfully framed by refreshing acidity and fine-grained tannins, finishing persistent and stylish. At its best: now to 2037."
