Longview Whipped Sauvignon Blanc 2025
G 90
Margarita-like. Salt, lime – maybe Cointreau, but use your imagination. The palate’s fresh and bright, tangy and approachable, finishing saline and crisp with a touch of coriander stem. Drink now–2029 Longview Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 G 90 Gum trees and mulberries. Reminiscent of the 2023 vintage – spearmint, snapped twigs and a fresher edge to the fruit. The palate feels supple, almost terracotta in texture, with red plum and a slow, savoury glide. Calm, confident and quietly
detailed. Drink now–2031 Longview Macclesfield Chardonnay 2024
G 90
Expressive and textural. Sweet stone fruits, custard apple, grape skins and red apple peel. It’s a comforting, tactile Chardonnay – a singular expression with more apple on the palate and squeaky phenolics to finish. Satisfying and salty. Drink now–2031 Longview Twin Palms Pinot Noir 2025 G 90 A sexy nose – pressed red roses, raspberry liquorice and lavender stalk. The palate’s a little less abundant, but follows faithfully: strawberry, snapped twig and cranberry. The tannins are Velcro-like – chewy, raw, a little wild. Touch simple, but, aromatically, it’s a superstar. Drink now–2029 Longview Riesling 2025 G 90 Citrus party. Taut, tight, and tense. Like sucking on a squeezed lemon – the kind that jolts you awake and dares you to take another sip. Tangerine, pickled radish, lime zest. Not the most complex wine, but still a vibe – bright, briny, and unapologetically refreshing. Buttery fish is the move – a little fat to tame the snap. Drink now–2030
Mr Riggs Mrs Pinot Gris 2025
G 90
Fairly logical and straight styling here, familiar white peach fruit notes with some lemon squeezed over pear as well, the citrus edge revealing a spice note as well, which puts a bit of zest into the palate as it rounds out in the finish. Drink now–2028
