Tasting Tips
"La Quattro" (CHENIN BLANC, RIESLING, SEMILLON, SAUVIGNON BLANC) an old vine white from four varieties planted on the Adelaide Plains as early as 1953, fruit driven, dry, spice, citrus whilst great mineral acidity provides plenty of length. A fruit driven wine in the drier spectrum.
Winery
Great wine begins in the vineyard and for Old Plains and Longhop nothing is more important. Our vineyards are unique, remnant plantings that have survived urban expansion and the pursuit of other agricultural profits. They also escaped the vine pull schemes that were popular during the 1980s. These government sponsored schemes saw old, low yielding vines uprooted with the help of subsidies and replaced by cash crops of vegetables and wheat. In some instances vast tracts of old vine shiraz was replaced by chardonnay! What a waste. The remaing small vineyards are true masterpieces of wine grape flavour, weathered, gnarly and magnificent in their defiance.
