VINTAGE NOTES
The 2025 vintage will be remembered for being one of the driest in many years. The dry conditions led to early flowering and despite the dry, crop levels were quite reasonable for the first time in many years. The vines struggled against the dry conditions and ripened the crop quickly leading to the earliest and fastest harvest in our memory. The wine quality is exceptional across all varietals and with similar vintage conditions not seen since 1967, this may well be one of the great vintages of modern times.
VINEYARD & WINEMAKING NOTES
Nebbiolo is one of the world’s great Rosato/Rose varieties and Longview has over a 20-year history producing this wine. The famed 1-11 clone of Nebbiolo makes up most of the blend for our Rosato with fine tannins adding texture and is complemented with a small portion of Pinot Nero for perfume lift, improving line and fruit persistence. Our Nebbiolo vines, first planted in 1995, are cane pruned, shoot thinned, leaf plucked, and bunch thinned to ensure optimal ripeness for this late season varietal. Individual blocks and press cuts are fermented separately to maximise blending options with lees stirring post ferment to build complexity." - Winemaker's Notes
