With its majestic gums, deep, alluvial soils, and maritime climate, Langhorne Creek holds a special place in our hearts. So much so, that we affectionately refer to it as ‘the land of milk and honey’. Conjured images of cows and bees roaming the unique, dead-flat natural floodplain, have in turn inspired Longhorn Peak, a fanciful label for a serious wine.

Sourced from Liz and Guy Adams’ celebrated Metala Vineyard, this blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the soft, plush, fragrant fruit on which the region has built its name.
