The Henry’s Drive Shiraz Cabernet has an attractive bouquet of ripe mulberry, mint and nutmeg. The palate is beautifully balanced with firm tannins and flavors of blackberry, cedar and cacao.

Wine Spectator (91 Points):
"There's terrific tension between the plump, ripe red and black fruit flavors and concentrated accents of cassis, with muscular, feltlike tannins and savory notes of chai tea, dried herb, tobacco and salty black licorice, showing plenty of harmony on the finish.“
Wine Advocate (92 Points):
"…While the Cabernet accounts for just under one-third, it's obvious on the nose, lending hints of mint and cassis, while the Shiraz is more dominant on the rich, expansive, blackberry-stained palate, leaving behind a long, velvety finish. This should drink well for at least a decade, perhaps longer."
The Dynamic Duo of mother and daughter Kim and Margo Longbottom are what make Vintage Longbottom Wines stand out. The story begins with Kim and late husband Mark establishing the winery over 20 years ago, in the Padthaway region, but continues with the addition of Margo, the second generation.
Margo’s background is in fashion and digital marketing, which has proven to be a boon for the winery, as she has helped to usher the winery into a new era. That familial connection is what makes Vintage Longbottom shine. Kim, a native New Zealander, grew up with wine her whole life, and made it her passion as an adult. Vintage Longbottom was half her dream, half Mark’s. She increased the export and domestic presence of the famed Henry’s Drive and H Syrah and continues to tout those wines—as well as Vintage Longbottom—today. Now, the emphasis is on producing McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills wines.
The Vintage Longbottom portfolio includes Henry’s Drive: classic Shiraz and Shiraz-blends with great character from the renowned McLaren Vale region. The top-tier Magnus, a wine that pays tribute to Mark’s strength, determination and character, comes from the elevated and celebrated, districts of Clarendon and Blewitt Springs within the McLaren Vale region. The H range, elegant and contemporary cool-climate wines grown and crafted in the Adelaide Hills, produces a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Syrah.
